I just read on BSPN that FSU coach Jimbo Fisher wants to do away with the playoff, BCS, everything done to rank teams and go back to the way it was 20 years ago when sports writers and coaches did the picking.....really JF? Did you actually just confirm to everyone that you are crazy and stupid at the same time?

The coaches poll in my opinion is just totally silly - coaches do not watch other teams or games that much, especially out of their conference, and JF thinks that is the way the national champion should be picked. Jimbo, you have me smh.....Wow!

Here is what he said, you decide.

"Fisher thinks the coaches' poll is the most accurate way to evaluate teams, suggesting his fellow coaches provide the most knowledge about how teams have actually performed and, he believes, would vote without bias.

"I don't think writers could do it better than coaches could do because it's what we do, and we understand the true guts of the business," Fisher said. "(Coaches) understand the importance of winning. You understand how you win. Coaches understand the grind. Any win is hard."

Fisher revealed that his own ballot in the coaches' poll, which he said he spends about two hours per week completing, includes Florida State at No. 4 behind only undefeated Kansas State, Oregon and Notre Dame.

Asked if he believed the Seminoles were the best of the one-loss teams, including SEC leaders Alabama and Georgia, Fisher said, "I think we're as good as any of them."

The lone losses for Alabama and Georgia have come at the hands of highly ranked foes, while Florida State fell 17-16 to NC State (6-4). Meanwhile, the Seminoles' win over Clemson remains their only marquee victory of the year.

Fisher said voters -- and computers -- put too much emphasis on style of wins and strength of schedule, however, and said the eye test is a fairer way to evaluate Florida State's actual ability.

"The integrity is the key, but the computer doesn't solve that," Fisher said."
