Southern California football coach Lane Kiffin was asked this week about voting in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches' Poll.
"I would not vote USC No. 1, I can tell you that," he told reporters.
quote:
In his first-ever ballot as a voter in the poll, Kiffin voted his Trojans as the preseason No. 1 team in the nation.
His quote about the poll came in response to being told that Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez had voted USC No. 1.
Each coach's vote normally is kept confidential until the final vote of the regular season under an agreement between USA TODAY Sports and the American Football Coaches Association. However, when a voter volunteers false or misleading information about his vote in public, then USA TODAY Sports, in its oversight role as administrator of the poll, will set the record straight to protect the poll's integrity.

It affected the outcome of the first poll and two SEC teams.

I just skimmed over the article quickly, but when did kiffin say he wouldnt vote no. 1?

So if Oregon beats USC 11/3 and Trojans still get #1 vote...we'll know.

Coach's poll is such a crock of shite.
What a conflict of interest.

I guess I will start USC game threads since it will affect the outcome on polls and SEC teams.

If he was still at UT, he would have voted them #1.
...and so would everyone else.

Earlier this week, to reporters. After the first poll was released.

By saying what he did, Kiffin said he meant that he wouldn't vote USC No. 1 if he were in the media or coaching another team.
Bull.
