There are a few recognizable names in the group, but most of the voters are journalists just like the AP poll. They even have some CEO's of companies, like McCormick (the spice company).
The coaches poll had everyone voting Florida/Michigan 2 or 3.
I do not agree with the whole opinion polling for a national championship game either. It taints the title. Yet, the reason they have so many voters is to lessen the impact of the idiot voters.

Its fucked up. I don't mind idiots voting to determine the final teams for a playoff system but they shouldnt be voting for the national championship. yes is most cases their vote gets it down to the final 2 and those 2 teams play to see who the winner is. However, even that is not always the case. Look what the fucking AP morons did back in 2003 to LSU by bucking the system and voting USC as the national champions.
These fuckers should not have this power . Let them do their voting to get it to a final 8 or 12 and then let the teams fucking play and remove any doubt who is the best.
