Well if it's bias, it looks like the non-P5 coaches have all drunk the Kool Aid. I only counted 5 of the 32 voters as being from P5 conferences. Even if I miscounted by one or two it doesn't change the point.

The problem is this conference had teams that were recruiting to the BCS and the Big East. Now it's not either. That hurts recruiting for all. Hopefully this is just a down year and it bounces back. It will be interesting to see.

No matter what, P5 schools use the G5 term every time they recruit kids that are considering a G5. It's only football but this has now trickled down to all sports.
