Last day did have an impact on the coach's poll.

California coach Jeff Tedford and the commissioner of the Pac-10 Conference called for coaches to make their votes public after California was dropped below No. 6 by six voters in the final poll.

Six coaches picked the Bears seventh or lower in the final poll: four at No. 7 and two in the eighth slot. In the previous week's poll, nobody picked Cal lower than sixth. The latest vote came after Cal's 26-16 win at Southern Mississippi on Saturday night.

The Associated Press made public its poll Sunday, listing each voter's name, news organization and votes for Nos. 1-25.

None of the AP media voters had Cal ranked lower than sixth. Eight had the Bears sixth, and in each case they were behind some combination of Southern California, Oklahoma, Auburn, Texas and Utah.
