This is something that I hope the playoffs will fix.

Agreed. I really don't understand why some sort of formula isn't used.
A win over a winning program = .5 point
A win over a winning program in a BCS conference = 1 point
A win over a BCS program with 3 or less losses = 2 points.

something like a baseline of 1 point for every win over 9.

factor in human polls.. somehow..
like maybe.. subract .5 points for every spot below #1 you are.

add 3 points for winning your conference.

I mean.. yeah.. it would "screw" over the NIUs and Fresno States of the world.. but I think we can all agree they shouldn't be in a playoff anyway.

No bonuses for "style points" - a win is a win. a loss is a loss.
and No more "eyeball" test bullshite.

but it would still allow teams that had amazing years (but didn't win their conference) to get in over less deserving teams..

I dunno.. seems like we create our own controversy. with a mathmatical formula.. there would be no drama.
