If Team A has a better record and a tougher schedule than Team B, and Team A gets the nod, Team B didn't get shafted. If Team A has the same record and a tougher schedule than Team B, and Team A gets the nod, Team B didn't get shafted. Those two facts alone kill this thread.


+1. I can't think of single instance where a team left out had a tougher schedule and same record as the teams that made it. That includes Auburn, although I admit they couldn't do better than go undefeated.

It can be argued that VT had a tougher schedule than LSU in 2007. My system said so, but LSU had significantly more points in the "quality win" section, and that's why I had LSU #2 in December.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe there was one of the six BCS computers that had VT ahead of LSU.

Auburn really is the only school I can think of that's had a legitimate complaint. They played a pretty tough schedule, but USC and OU started out the season 1 and 2 and both went undefeated. Which has clearly been a unique situation.
