re: I get the unhappiness with Ohio State jumping LSU, but why would you want them to lose?

I *think* for the computer poll it was 5 computer polls, highest and lowest for each team dropped then the other 3 averaged.

I liked that system.

You've got 5 computer polls and like 120ish voters between Coaches and AP poll.

The BCS aggregates the standings of each of the six computer polls and awards teams 25 points for a first-place standing on a computer poll, 24 for a second, 23 for a third, and so on, just as in the human element, until one point is given for a 25th-place vote.
The BCS takes the six point values and removes the lowest and highest point values given to a specific team. Four point values are left, which the BCS adds together.
Because a perfect score would mean receiving four first-place votes, or four 25 point values, the BCS divides the team’s four computer ranking point values by 100 to arrive at the composite computer ranking value.

And what did they do? Scrap that for 13 people. Talk about consolidating power... It's much easier for frickery to occur with 13 people compared to the BCS formula. And honestly, I think that's why they did it...

They could do the CFP and the computers. I think the least they would need to do is delay the AP/Coaches poll until later in the year.
