Fishy Vote in Ohio

There’s been a fishy vote in Ohio, but I’m not speaking of the 2004 election here. Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said at a luncheon he had voted for Texas as number one in the USA Today Coach’s Poll. USA Today revealed that Tressel’s official ballot placed Ohio State, and not Texas, as number one. At least this was one ballot in Ohio for which there was a paper trail and the vote could be verified.

Texas moved up to number two, setting up a huge game between the number one and two teams this Saturday. The Buckeyes end the regular season against  Michigan, who has frequently knocked them out of the number one spot.  All eleven teams in the Big Ten (don’t ask) started out the season with a victory. I’m not sure if this has ever happened before.
