Some would say the Coaches Poll is a meaningless anachronism, a high-profile irrelevancy.

First college football coach to hit incentive bonus this season is Utah's Kyle Whittingham. He gets $15,000 because Utes are No. 15 in Amway Coaches preseason poll. He gets that amt if team is ranked anytime during season; it goes to $100K if team ends season in a major top 25

Maybe Whittingham contacted some peers for a little sweet $1000-handshakin’ side action.

Add GaTech and possibly Clemson in a playoff game and the schedule is almost an exact match of opponents.

UF as a top-ten team is hilarious. 10-15 maybe … Guess the coaches love them some Danny Boy as much as the media does. Season’s gonna play out in disappointing fashion for them, me thinks.

UF #7 ?
I have seen their QB play and trust me they ain’t in the top 10…

Agree on Utah being strong. One of few teams out West that plays defense. Wittingham gets a lot out of his talent. If they can get some stability at QB, they could be top ten team.

For all you know Utah wanted #20 or higher so they wrote it up 15. Besides that the ranking is loosely based on last year which maybe they wanted to incentivize. The point is we don’t know all that went into it, so I get it but I think you’re making too hard of a case. If you wanted to make a case they could give the $100K to the players…that’s one I can get behind because they obviously have the the money and they’re obviously going to spend it anyway.
