Thank's for the info. I think that ELO-chess is a better formula to use to determine who makes the post season, because the idea is not to predict who will win, but who has earned it.

The purpose is supposedly to rank the teams on their measured ability. If the BCS had not mandated the ELO system, then USC and LSU would have played for the national championship two years ago, after Oklahoma got their asses handed to them by Kansas State in the Big XII championship game.
