[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 983419, member: 6459"] Eh, SOS is way too out of anyone's hands. Matchups are often set years in advance for OOC games, and for conference games you have even less control over how good your opponents are in any given year. The drumbeat against the computers not being able to account for factors like that in the BCS era was constant - nobody really thought stuff like that was fair or that teams fully had their fate in their own hands. It's basically the USC/LSU scenario, where the voters got mad at the computers for favoring the SEC and Big XII strength of schedules and ignoring that OU lost it's conference championship game badly. An inverted version of this year - "three undefeated teams, computer picks two of them, one of those picked teams lost their QB in the last weeks" - would've caused people to absolutely lose their minds too if the BCS was still around. I'm not expecting everyone to be happy with FSU getting left out (though: screw them, personally ;) ) but arguing against the idea that the BCS was good somehow is a good way to pass the time waiting for some stuff to run for work. :) [/QUOTE]
