re: BCS: If you had to pick either polls or computers...?

The only way I would accept computers is if they only looked at your top 6(or something similiar) opponents to throw away the gimme wins.
I just want to ensure schools with difficult schedules are heavily rewarded. I'd rather a team play 8 top 25 teams have a loss than a team that only played 1 or 2 top 25 teams and go undefeated.

quote:All six computers have either a quality win quotient (victories over higher-rated teams glean brownie points) or a function that puts more weight to top wins. I think that is sufficient. There is a hole in your specific suggestion (I'll use extremes in this hypothetical to make the point clear):

LSU (13-0, 8-0)
McNeese State (FCS)
Louisiana-Monroe (2-10)
Louisiana Tech (2-10)
Miami-Ohio (2-10)
Vanderbilt (2-10)
Kentucky (2-10)
Mississippi State (2-10)
Florida (9-3)
Ole Miss (9-3)
Alabama (9-3)
Auburn (9-3)
Arkansas (9-3)
Florida (SECCG) (9-3)
USC (13-0, 9-0)
Nevada (5-7)
Notre Dame (5-7)
San Jose State (5-7)
Washington (5-7)
Oregon (8-4)
Oregon State (8-4)
Colorado (8-4)
California (8-4)
Stanford (8-4)
UCLA (8-4)
Arizona (8-4)
Arizona State (8-4)
Utah (P12CG) (8-4)
Your suggestion would give LSU (1 FCS team, 6 2-10 teams, 6 9-3 teams) a higher SOS, but I'd say that USC's schedule (4 5-7 teams, 9 8-4 teams) is definitely tougher.

I kige this.
That's why the BCS used to have a quality win bonus. It's better to beat #1,2,3,4,5,6,115,116,117,118,119, and 120 than it is to beat #55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65, and 66.
But they ditched that because their precious little media darling got punished for a weak schedule.
