WTH? How could Pelini possibly not be on this list?

 
I think the list is right. He is in the 21-25 range/others receiving votes. If he wouldn't have had a meltdown on tv(he deserved to have on) or finished the year strong I.E. Not finishing the year 1-3 and not pooping the bed on national tv against Oklahoma and Washington he would be on the list. P

 
I dunno. How can you put guys like Randy Edsall or Mike Riley ahead of Bo? Edsall has a couple good years at Connecticut. And that’s it. And Mike Riley? He’s never had a season better than 10-4. Never been to a BCS bowl. Never even won his conference. And even June Jones——sure he had some great teams. Half a decade ago. In the WAC conference. He’s only had one winning season in the last three at SMU.

As near as I can tell this top 20 list gives a lot of credit to body of work over a career. Not the top 20 best coaches in the business right now. I surprised they don't have Joe Paterno at #1.
