All the math and actual logic that lsumatt brings to the table, and you accuse him of preferring what you call a beauty pageant?

Shitty post, tigers.


How so? The BCS is a beauty pageant. Every team's destiny is tied to the whim of voters. Yes, I know there are the computers but that's on 1/3 of the formula.

I think the voters as a whole deserve more credit than what they are given. They are usually easy to predict because they are very logic based (again as a unit). In 2007, LSU had to jump several teams the last week, but logically it made sense they would jump Georgia and Va tech for example.

And the computers carry enough weight to matter. The voters could have done almost nothing to get USC or OU in the NC game in 2007, regardless of any "whim"
