Pretty simple post, actually. Here's where members of the coaches, AP and Harris polls voted Maryland in their final regular season ballots:
No. 23: Mike Haywood (Miami-Ohio) and George O'Leary (Central Florida)
No. 24: Frank Beamer (Virginia Tech), David Cutcliffe (Duke), Jim Grobe (Wake Forest), Jim Harbaugh (Stanford) and Brian Kelly (Notre Dame)
No. 25: Mike MacIntyre (San Jose State), Mike Sherman (Texas A&M), Tommy Tuberville (Texas Tech)
Notes: Some Friedgen pals (Beamer and O'Leary), two ACC guys (Cutcliffe and Grobe), a guy who was just in the ACC last year (MacIntyre) and James Franklin's old boss with the Green Bay Packers populate this list.
Also notable: Tom O'Brien of N.C. State voted the Wolfpack No. 24 and left Maryland off his ballot.
No. 23
Bob Asmussen, Champaign (Ill.) News-Gazette
Mike DeArmond, Kansas City Star
Rob Long, AM-1370 (Baltimore)
No. 24
Robert Cessna, Bryan-College Station (Texas) Eagle
Coley Harvey, Macon (Ga.) Telegraph
Craig James, ABC
Matt McCoy, WTVN-AM (Columbus, Ohio)
John Niyo, The Detroit News
Andy Staples, SI.com
John Werner, Waco (Texas) Herald-Tribune
Adam Zuvanich, Lubbock (Texas) Avalanche-Journal
No. 25
Ray Fittipaldo, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Dave Foster, WZTV (Nashville, Tenn.)
Kirk Herbstreit, WBNS-AM and ESPN/ABC
Mike Hlas, Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Gazette
Tom Keegan, Lawrence (Kan.) Journal World
Notes: Like last week,very interesting that Maryland receives virtually no top-25 votes from ACC country. Of the nine AP voters specifically representing outlets in Massachusetts, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, just one voted the Terps into the top 25. That runs counter the assumption that if there is probably a slight regional bias (one that tends to even itself out once the entire country is accounted for).
