As much as I hate the BCS, I'd rather have unbiased computers determining who gets into a playoff, rather than a 14-20 person committee..


what makes you think the computers are unbiased? Who is programing them, what are the criteria? A committee will be known and can be held accountable.

So lets screw Stanford in 2012 for playing a tough game at ND and have Oregon, who they beat at Oregon get in over them. Though Ironically, it would have been the opposite in 2011.

I don't know why people are so scared of a committee, they do a good job with other tournaments. They could correct the errors of polls, like teams moving down for losing late or being ranked higher simply because they have a better record.

I actually like that idea less.

The big point to me is that you have 120+ teams, and are narrowing it down to 4. If you look at the rankings after conference championships, you had four teams at 1 loss. Florida and Oregon would have been in over teams that beat them. So it can't go off of straight rankings.

But the selection committee, to me, is there to ensure that #2 from the SEC gets in over the likes of Boise or NIU.
