It's a little amusing to me, as a non-college football fan, to see this poll and not find any W-L records.

Yknow, I noticed that too when I was yapping with someone on the phone while looking at it. I was like, wtf? It really kinda sucks.

They used to at least say how many games they lost as it figured in. But now, nope....nothing.

Well, that's because the poll is really just a manipulation of 8 different polls

I think they used to put in losses because you lost one point of your BCS average for each loss.

obviously this is not a perfect system. that has been proven in its many forumlas over the past 7 1/2 years. I think this is the closest to perfect i have ever seen a BCS poll. There is still a lot of time left an the season, and this will undoubtedly change.

The glaring error here is ND. They are ranked 16th overall, but in the computer polls, they are ranked 25th, 25th, 23rd, 22nd, and NR in 2 polls. However, this will not matter if ND loses another game, or if they win out. If they lose, Toilet Bowl, if they win out, they will get one of the two "wild card" bids.

The computer rankings in the BCS should only be used as a tiebreaker if the AP and Coaches poll don't agree. Until that happens, people will always complain about the results

This is ridicoulous, you need at least 12 so you can award the top teams a bye as a reward for playing so well during the season. You cant have a 12-0 USC team having to win as many playoff games as a 10-2 Miami team to win a National Championship. Oh and if you are USC and alreayd ahve 10 wins and are #1 why not sit all your starters to make sure they are healthy for the "playoffs" considering you are gauranteed at least the 8th spot. It is harder to put together a playoff sytem then to just say make an 8 team playoff.
