Thanks for that important clarification. I was about ready to ask "which coach?!?!?!" in a confused fury.*

Looks like we're 9th in AP Poll

It's happened. Iowa State 9th, Northern Iowa 20th and Iowa 25th in @AP_Top25 - First time the state has had 3 ranked teams at once.

It's not that outrageous; Utah's a very good team. There isn't anything they do poorly...they shoot well, they score, they rebound, they have very solid defense, they're just a good, well-rounded team. The only knock against them is that they haven't beaten anybody that would be considered a "signature win", but they've absolutely destroyed most teams they've played (with their only losses coming against ranked teams on the road).
Also, they didn't lose to South Carolina.
My real question, though -- shouldn't it be coaches' ??

I could be either way, a poll made up of coaches or a poll that belongs to the coaches (coaches'). Because USA Today puts out the poll it makes more sense for it to be Coaches Poll because the coaches don't have control/ownership of it, they only have been polled by someone else.
Pretty much what I thought. Since "poll" is really more important that "coaches", I would assign coaches as an adjective. "We're talking about the poll." "Which poll?" "The coaches poll."
