What bothers me the most is the selection committee. Regardless of the criteria, they will vote their preferences.
Say what you will about computers, but they will ALLWAYS consider the programmed criteria. Humans, not so much

Agreed....I am more than a bit skeptical of our new system...a secret panel of folks selecting the top teams based on secret criteria cannot end well, in my opinion...at least there is transparency in the current systems....

Great point until you consider computers are programmed by people with inherent bias as well.
Thus the wide disparity amongst computer-based ranking models such as we see today.
There is simply no viable way to separate the computer element from the human element when humans write the computer codes. Duh
