Computers may have had them at number 1. too bad that the human polls count for 2/3s of the calculation. [/ QUOTE ] Too bad? The reason you have the human element is to keep what would have been an undefeated PSU team at #3.

Re: ***Official BCS Selection Thread***
Three compelling matchups. If only the Big East wasn't part of the equation, we might have had four. For all the BCS critics (of which I'm one), it actually worked this year.

If only Va Tech beat FSU, we'd have 4 nice matchups.

[/ QUOTE ] and the sad thing is it woulda worked with the old system too. the bcs pretty much solves what it was set forth to do: choose the best 2 teams (scientifically, which may be flawed), to play for the national title. any time there are 3 undefeated teams and no playoffs, people are going to whine and bitch about it. honestly, to all your BCS bashers out there, what do you expect this system to do, magically give on of the three teams a loss? Playoffs are the only solution, but the greedy NCAA won't have any of it.

And for all of the complaining last year, without the BCS, USC would have played in the Rose Bowl, Auburn would have played in the Sugar Bowl and Oklahoma would have played in the Orange Bowl.
