[QUOTE="BrewingFrog, post: 3083967, member: 28"] "The computers"? Does anyone remember an acronym from the neolithic days of computing: GIGO? Garbage In Garbage Out. The BCS "computers" don't just magically conjure up dispassionate figures, they are programmed by people, people who are employed and paid by the very same organizations that ran the BCS. No surprise that they would spit out the figures desired by the entertainment companies that put the whole circus on in the first place. I mean, shazam! The company that owns the Playoff, ESPN/Disney, would [I]never[/I] allow an entity they do not absolutely control to dictate the terms of one of their biggest showcase events each year. No. Way. [/QUOTE]
