I am so glad Flutie nailed hime with the cash he received at SMU for cheating and getting his alma mater the death penalty. Craig James is as I have posted....A PUNK!
Week 8 WORST Voter -- Craig James
Craig James is a well known commentator for ESPN/ABC and previously CBS. He is generally very knowledgeable about pro and college football, having played his college ball at SMU and in the NFL for the Patriots. However, his week 8 AP Poll Ballot makes him this week's dubious winner for the second week running. Some highlights from his ballot:
1) Pollspeak and its voters aren't always going to agree on who is the week's worst, but in this case we do. James received over 700 votes mostly, it seems, from people baffled that he would rank Kentucky #24 after they defeated consensus #1 LSU. Most voters have Kentucky in the top 10. James ranked Kentucky by far the lowest of any voter. There is usually a cattle prod that separates the Worst Voter from the pack, and Jame's Kentucky ranking is this week's shocker. Similar to how James surprised us last week by leaving Virginia Tech completely off the ballot.
2) Boston College ranked #10 and Arizona State ranked #13. This is the lowest ranking for BC by any voter. True, BC hasn't played a tough schedule, but neither has Ohio State (James' #1). When looking at these two team without bias, they should be ranked closer together...either high or low, but they are in similar circumstances. James also has the widest margin between Ohio State and BC. The same argument could be made for Arizona State (James' #13), which has had arguably the toughest schedule of the three. James is not alone with his ranking of the Sun Devils, but Pollspeak doesn't see enough difference between these three teams to rank them so widely apart.

ESPN must have something against BC, a former BC Head Coach's daughter works there, and the better TV deals with the Teams they rank ahead of BC?
Who knows but no 1 loss team should ever be ahead of a undefeated BCS team with a conference championship like BC.
BC needs to make that the 11th Commandment and pull an Urban Meyer.
Thank God the Harris Poll and Coaches makes up the BCS.
Craig James is a superficial, chicken fried nation, smiling immature jock brat and this submission is prima facie evidence. That submission by Craig James shows he is an arrogant, SMU pretty boy, who got lots of Dickerson's carries at SMU he did not deserve.
His actions are unprofessional and the problem is no one but us BC Guys have the balls to call him out.
I am calling him out over next door in Cowtown.
Where is the Boston Globe, ESPN and other media outlets, castigating this Pathetic Pony for selecting BC 14th.
Is he upset that he did not allegedly get paid enough during his time at SMU to get his alma mater the death penalty? At least we are ahead of 2 loss Texas in his sad picks.
You can see it on his on air dealings with Flutie and that phony cheerleader sissy laugh.
Doug mentioned that "One Pass Deal" and it illustrates James petty jealousy for Doug.
Flutie is too classy and professional and he knows his bet bet is to remain silent and ignore James.
Craig James is low rent. He is an unprofessional immature punk.
He will get tired at ABC/ESPN, open his mouth and be gone. He is a insect bug. Bugs get squished in life.
Craig James in not the problem.
Craig James is just being CJ and the phony person everyone knows. The problem is ABC/ESPN and the guys who know him telling him to STFU and act like a real man.
Maybe Doug will let him pet his Heisman in his Trophy Case?
