not even close. The BCS was two-thirds human polls, and one-third computer rankings, with different metrics.
Until 2003, the BCS used a "stregnth of schedule" component that is exactly what is being described in this thread. It wasn't weighted as heavily as the polls or the computers, and was dropped because it kept media favorite USC out of a title game berth.

There is no "perfect" system.

And nobody will ever agree on these, so the argument would continue forever.
