Now we have a poll with fewer voters.

How do you like being ruled? By people that never played the game, and just do what they FEEL like....how does it feel?

Bama favored by 2
Texas favored 4
But Michigan and Washington are best teams
They should let Vegas handle rankings

Yes, so they turned to a committee with a set of by laws and we have done a 180 and now we have an eyeball test.

Reason it would be better is computers look only at results. They don't care about the name brand.

You are what your record says you are.

Started in 2003 when darlin USC didn't get in the title game. The media started a campaign against the BCS because they realized they couldn't manipulate the system and the ppl joined in like good little sheep. I told you all this would happen.

The solution was simple. Use the BCS computers and THEN have a 12 team playoff. Don’t know why that is so hard for the NCAA to figure out.
