Yeah I couldn't pretend to know why coaches vote the way they do. A lot of people think that a good deal of coaches don't even do the voting themselves. If Leach did vote though, I can see why he voted Arizona State so high. The Sun Devils spanked them in Pullman so he might be a little biased in their favor.

I certainly think it's a unique matchup. Bortles and Storm Johnson are pretty good when they're in sync and they have a talented receiving corps. The defense is pretty athletic and I haven't seen any games where their secondary looked like they absolutely couldn't handle Baylor, but Baylor's vertical game is a completely different animal. They should have Tevin Reese back for the bowl game as well and Seastrunk should get fully healthy, something he wasn't down the stretch.

The coach's poll is worthless, imo. Almost all coaches vote with a bias towards their conference rivals and those in their general region.

I don't if it's worthless. Here's a complete listing of SEC coaches, and they all voted FSU #1.
http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/2013/sec-coaches-top-25-coaches-poll/Ga fans are raving at James Franklin. He didn't put Ga in the Top 25 and everyone is mad. Which I think is silly...
But it's probably bad blood since last year the Ga/Vandy game got a little rough between the coaches.
