LOL! I get your point. But, again imo, the FBS division has too disparate a group of programs to go to pure computer selection.
Suppose one year the computer selected undefeated WAC champion Louisiana Tech to play undefeated MAC champion Toledo, when, to the real world, neither deserved to be in the top ten. Further, to make this scenario work, the real bigtime programs don't have one or two teams clearly ahead of the pack (like Texas and USC in 2005) but are bunched up, such as was the case in 2007. Would you be okay with going through the charade of treating Latech vs. Toledo as the national championship game, knowing there were 8 to 10 two-loss teams that would handily beat either?
Oh and on the OU argument, they didn't win their conference.
But on something we both agree: Latech is afraid of ULM.
You don't know anything. You assume they would beat them. Assumptions are the flaw of FBS college football and why its not a competitive sport.
