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...
A) that's not what we have now. We have the polls and the veneer of the computer polls, but with an understanding they will never overrule the human polls.
B) Unbiased computers are programmed by biased programmers.
Looking at the committee in other NCAA sports, I don't see how anyone could prefer the BCS. It's like wanting the RPI with no checks on non-sensical results.

Sure, but the code is set in place before the season begins and it isn't subjective. It's a mathematical formula.
Clearly they aren't perfect but they do not contain irrational bias (other than the methodology)

I'm all for getting rid of the BCS. If this ends up sucking worse, it'll be replaced too. So let's give it a shot and see how it goes.
