re: Ranking the BCS Controversies

Most of these problems have arisen due to the belief that the AP and the Coaches polls were accurate. If that is the case, then why the hell did we create the BCS to begin with?! I was under the assumption that the BCS was created to remove the human bias from the polls. If we wanted it to simply reflect the human polls, then creating it would have been a huge waste of time, correct?

Incorrect. The problems occur with the idea that it is possible in most years to identify the 2 most worthy teams after a 12 game schedule. This is impossible and the correct answer is that no formula or solution is possible under the given circumstances in most years.

Just to add to the 2000 controversey was that Washington was also a 1 loss team that year that beat Miami. So Washington beats Miami and Miami beats Florida St., so naturally Florida St. gets the nod.
