Pelini votes Nebraska No. 22
It's always fun every year as this time to take a peek at the USA Today coaches' poll as the media outlet publishes the ballot of each of the 61 coaches for the first time of the year.
There's little doubt that keeping tabs on every other team in the country, while trying to coach your own, is a difficult task, but it's interesting to see how some of the coaches feel about other teams around the country and the perceived slights that might exist. For instance, in this USA Today graphic, it's noteworthy that Missouri coach Gary Pinkel is apparently much less impressed with non-BCS conference programs like Utah and TCU than any of his peers.
Also of note to Nebraska fans is the ballot of Cornhuskers head coach Bo Pelini, who voted his squad No. 22. Pelini's top five (in order): Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Southern California and Alabama.
