Tenn is 15th in one and 25th in the other. I don't ever remember seeing that big of disparity between the two.

Wow - BC who just beat North Carolina is only one ahead of us - we did well here!

Now . . . let's take care of Rutgers on Wednesday - no easing up, no let downs, let's go take them out!

Who has the best info and is more credible, coaches or writers?

I think I'll go with coaches every time.

ND and Purdue are way overrated. Louisville should not even be in the top 25.

I'll take the exact opposite as very often the coaches never fill out their own polls and the job is delegated to a lower position. Not to mention the extreme biases that exist between college coaches.

14 of the top 25 are between the Big East (9) and ACC (5). Clearly shows where the power lies this year...

I'd submit that an equal or greater bias exists among the writers as does among the coaches.
