"Coaches have the perfect right to conduct their voting the way they see fit," said Vince Doria, ESPN's vice president and director of news. "We just feel, in our best interests here, we couldn't reconcile having our name on the poll and being able to cover any controversy that might arise."
Weak? I think so. It's hard to believe that ESPN is really worried about controversy. You'd think they'd welcome it. It's not like people blamed them when the poll got wacky the end of last year. Looks more like they're jumping on the anti-BCS bandwagon. Maybe it has something to do with the BCS signing a deal with Fox?
