re: Army/Navy, BCS and other bowl selection questions

I also have wondered what people would say if the race beween BCS 2 and 3 was so close that the result of the Army / Navy game would actually affect the computer rankings of the number 2 and 3 teams enough to be the deciding factor. Imagine, for example, that Notre Dame was number 2 in the BCS and had played Navy earlier in the year. Number 3 was just thousandths of a point behind - so close that a change in one computer ranking would be the difference. A Navy loss would bump number 3 ahead of Number 2 Notre Dame, but it wouldn't matter because BCS is already done.

I always wondered why BCS final came before Army / Navy.
