The college football world is one where public opinion rules the day. Did your team win? How did your team win? Did they win by enough? Did your best players perform well enough to continue consideration for individual awards? How good do other people and computers think your team is?

Well, it’s time to put an end to the speculation and debate. There’s only one way to get definitive answers, and like always, the solution is Google.

Using the Google Suggest tool, which offers suggestions for search topics based on its most popular queries, we can finally get a glimpse into what the public opinion on just about any issue. No more facts, statistics, or logic, we’re gonna break this baby down into the remedial half-thoughts that we throw into search engines.

Today, we’re going to look into some head coaches, and what the masses think most about them. Findings after the jump.

Let’s start with the top dogs. Pete Carroll and Les Miles.

For Petey Pablo, Google finds people want to know:

Pretty innocuous. Although “pete carroll arrested” and “pete carroll fired” jump out from the other rote results. Can’t tell if it’s digging for dirt or wishful thinking from jealous non-USC fans, though.

Onto Uncle Lester:

Apparently, Miles’ potshots at the strength of the Pac-10 are still grabbing headlines. The nearly 2 million “les miles michigan” searches are no doubt from Michigan fans still burnt from HOT HOT HOT Appalachian State . “les miles hat” just doesn’t make a damn bit of a sense to me, unless 2 million+ people are seriously wondering where he shops for a head tarp to cover that honeydew of his.

How about baby Bear Nick Saban?

We want to know where you live, Saban!! We also want to know where you bought that hat, as it looks like it does a pretty good job keeping your head cool!!

Charlie Weis?

Gotta be honest; very surprised to not see “charlie weis fat” here. But people do want to know about his malpractice lawsuit this summer, but not as much as they want to know how to spell his damn name.

New and instantly embattled Louisville head coach Steve Kragthorpe?

OK, this is just terrifying. 64 different people (or one very dedicated person) have begged Google to yield Not Safe For Work Steve Kragthorpe pictures. I don’t even know what to say.

An interesting experiment, but aside from some hot Kragthorpe porn, the most popular results seem to be pretty innocuous. Searches for press conferences, wikipedia pages, salary numbers, etc., nothing too out of the ordinary or unexpected.

Wait, what’s that? Check Lloyd Carr’s results?

Sorry, Lloyd. Nearly as many people think you “must go” as want to know you went to “michigan.”

DISCLOSURE:  I completely cribbed this idea from this Slate story.  Worth it for the XXX Kragthorpe, I think.
