Because you then have people with no credibility who still probably didn't watch the games (since they're also busy during football season) filling out the ballots. The idea behind the coaches doing it is that they have knowledge of the game and can be trusted to pick the best teams. Some random SID guy doesn't fit that bill. And besides, EVERYONE is biased. Most coaches/SIDs rank the teams that they play much higher than they should be to help out themselves.
And I love how Urban complained endlessly when he was at Utah and went undefeated and didn't get into the BCS champ game but now it's OK that his old team was in the same situation and his new team benefitted.
