[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 805829, member: 2426"] The BCS wasn't a computer system. It used several computer ranking systems in addition to the coaches' poll. They forced the computer ranking systems to modify their ranking systems, and then ended up putting more emphasis on the poll than the computers. The big problem is that there is not a perfect contrast between "two" or "four" teams and every other single team in football. A poll is going to have bias built in. A computer ranking system is only as good as the algorithms used. (Do you put more emphasis on offense or defense? Do you include score differential comparisons between two teams with common opponents if one team subbed in after the first half and the other didn't sub until halfway through the fourth quarter?) My opinion is that every team should have a clear path to get a guarantee into the playoffs at the beginning of the year. Complete that path and you are in without any interference from a committee. Fail to complete that path and the committee might give you another opportunity, but you don't have a right to complain because you could have just done what you knew you had to do. [/QUOTE]
