The SOS that was used in the 2003 BCS was flawed and redundant on top of that. The computers still have it and human voters clearly factor it in.



Is that how Auburn got royally screwed in 2004, because if I recall ... their SOS was brutal.

they got screwed more by the bubble-up theory. You can't jump somebody in front of you unless they lose. Although doubtful they would have jumped UT and USC regardless.

what you recall is because they were in the SEC their SOS must have been brutal and most SEC fans think no one outside the SEC is any good but Auburn's SOS was worse than both USC and OU. 2004 the SEC had it's lowest overall winning percentage since expanding to 12 teams in 1992. That's not a perfect measure of course, but it was not a tough as the SEC is this year.
