RCS: The BCS standings use coaches and Harris polls. But until the final ballot, the votes are secret. We have a situation this year when the standings are used to break a tie in the Big 12, yet we won't know how the pollsters voted. Are you concerned about this lack of transparency and will the BCS demand that the votes be made public every week?
BH: We have no control over the coaches poll, you'll have to visit the coaches association about that, on how they manage what they do. I will say that the commissioners talked about this issue but Harris has told us that one voter out of 114 cannot affect enough change to make a difference in the standings, one voter can't make a significant difference. We think there is transparency - the only poll that matters is the last one and there is transparency.
RCS: But what about this week, with the Big 12 tiebreaker?
BH: That's a question for the Big 12.
