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.
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.

I agree with this.
