I mean, the coaches poll has always been really dumb, it's not worth getting too worked up about.

I'm kind of surprised Stanford is at #9, you'd think that people would see Love's disastrous showing and discount us going forward, aerial fireworks aside. I guess we'll see what the thinking people do when the AP poll comes out.

That's one way of looking at it. Another way would be "well, if the other team's defense figures out a way to stop Love, Stanford can beat them through the air."
Then again, I can't help wondering how much the coaches really study the details of all the other games. I could see them saying Stanford beat a pretty decent team (SDSU) by three touchdowns, so they must be good.
