Pollin': Tide on top and other notes on the final polls

Alabama is Number One. No doubts here: All 118 voters in the Coaches' poll (whose members are obligated to vote for the BCS champion) and the Associated Press poll (whose members are not) cast Alabama in the top spot.

That kind of unanimity hasn't been easy, even in the era of enforced 1 vs. 2: The last team to earn every first place vote in the AP without a note of dissent was Texas in 2005, which also happens to be the last undefeated champion.

Attack of the Killer Tomato Cans. Speaking of Boise: The Broncos come in at No. 4 in both polls, the highest finish in school history and the highest of an unprecedented group of teams from outside of the "Big Six" conference. TCU (No. 6) joins Boise in the top 10 in both polls, followed by BYU (No. 12), Utah (18) and Central Michigan (23 AP, 24 Coaches), matching last year's record of three mid-major teams in the top dozen and breaking '08's record of four small-conference outfits in the poll at large.

That's a mighty fine ballot you've got there. There's no significant disagreement between the two polls: The widest gap for any single team is three slots. The top seven and 16 of the top 19 in both polls are identical, and only USC (No. 22 AP, No. 20 Coaches), Texas Tech (21 AP, 23 Coaches) and West Virginia (25 AP, 22 Coaches) are more than one position away from their standing in one poll to the other.

?Above all, consistency. The Coaches' poll, which has tended to favor Penn State over Iowa at every available opportunity and still had the 10-2 Nittany Lions ranked ahead of the 10-2 Hawkeyes going into the bowls despite Iowa's win in Happy Valley in October, finally came to its senses: The Hawke
