How many times have computers gotten the MNC game winner right?


Not sure what you mean, but the goal of the computer would be to get the top 2 teams correct, not really pick a winner.

Thank goodness for the computers. It would have been a crime if USC would have played in the 2004 Sugar Bowl. LSU and Oklahoma each had a better record and tougher schedule than USC.

In the BCS era, only twice has a BCSCG participant not been in the top two in the computers: 2008 #2 Texas (#3 Florida got the nod) and 2009 #2 Cincinnati (#3 Texas got the nod).

Considering some of the savage injustices given to us by polls in past decades, I'd say that the computers have a pretty damn good track record.
