Vince Mullins from Fantasy College Blitz has shared an interested email he received from a reader. By rule, schools on "major" probation are ineligible to receive votes in the Coaches Poll. If you remember, Alabama was placed on major probation after their textbook scandal. Alabama should therefore receive 0 points from the Coaches Poll, which would drop them to #8 in the BCS Standings.

due diligence is a wonderful thing. Try it! It might keep you from looking like an idiot.
Read what follows.
Under long-standing AFCA policy a school is inelgible for Coaches' Poll
consideration if it is under "major NCAA probation" that includes any
of the following penalties in a given season:
1. Live television ban
2. Postseason competition ban
3. Loss of 20 percent of total football scholarships
Alabama received none of these penalties from the NCAA as a result of
the investigation you referenced and is therefore eligible to receive
votes in the USA Today/AFCA Coaches' Poll this season.
Thank you for your interest in the AFCA.
