I've been meaning to start a tread like this in part to predict what a committee or humans might do.

Here's where they differ:

1998:
BCS:
1. UT
2. FSU
3. KSU
4. OSU


Poll Average:
1. UT
2. FSU
3. OSU
4. KSU


Not much difference

1999:
BCS:
1. FSU
2. VT
3. Nebraska
4. Bama

Polls:
1. FSU
2. VT
3. Nebraska
4. Bama
4. Tennessee (Tie)

Again, not much different

2000:
BCS:
1. OU
2. FSU
3. Miami
4. Washington

Polls:
1. OU
2. FSU
2. Miami (tie)
4. Washington

Great year for Playoff.

VT and Oregon St also had just 1 loss

Forget my last post; these are only two years where things differed between BCS and Human Polls for inclusion of top 4 teams:

1999
1. FSU
2. VT
3. Nebraska
4. Bama

Polls:
1. FSU
2. VT
3. Nebraska
4. Wisconsin

2004
BCS:
1. USC
2. Oklahoma
3. Auburn
4. Texas

Polls:
1. USC
2. Oklahoma
3. Auburn
4. Cal

2007:
BCS:
1. Ohio State
2. LSU
3. Virginia Tech
4. Oklahoma

Polls:
1. Ohio State
2. LSU
3. Oklahoma
4. Georgia

2010
1. Auburn
2. Oregon
3. TCU
4. Stanford (BCS)
4. Wisconsin (Tied with Stanford in Polls)



The orders changed around a bit most years, but in only four seasons were the top 4 teams were not identical in the BCS and the polls.
