It appears that either the USA Today Coaches poll members must re-vote in order to recalculate the final BCS standings, OR The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame, Inc. should move up the University Cincinnatis football team to play the University of Texas football team in the BCS Championship game.
At the bottom of the AFCA page with the Coaches Votes it specifically states:
The AFCA prohibits coaches from voting for schools on major NCAA probation.
USATODAY.com
And I think it is very clear they are on major probation due to a textbook scandal.
NCAA Places Alabama On Probation - NCAA.com ? The Official Website of NCAA Championships
Even though they appealed, the infractions are not set aside per below NCAA Bylaw:
32.10.2 Determinations of fact and violations arrived at by the Committee on Infractions shall not be set aside on appeal.

Based on these circumstances, the University of Alabama football team is required receive 0 (zero) points from the USA Today Coaches poll, giving them a recalculated BCS average of 0.6656, thus moving them down to number 8 on the BCS final standings.
