Computers are impartial. A selection committee can be biased.

computers only spit out what humans program them to.

If a human thinks margin or victory is important, they'll program that in. If not, it's out. Same goes for a host of other variables, and how much weight, if any, to give them.

And I think it's silly to denigrate the selection committee. They can take all the data and discuss at length. Much like the March Madness committee, who most people believe does a great job.

I'd take a committee of serious people, that review all the data for weeks, to a formula spit out by a computer.
