🏈 Illegitimate BCS process holds game hostage

[Joe]

Did you know?

"It (BCS) currently consists of two-thirds human opinion polls that are ripe for political foolishness, full of oft-uneducated voters and subject to groupthink.The other third features an average of six computer formulas, which quantitative analysts have declared mathematically unsound and their own proprietors admit are not as accurate as they could be. Five of the computer formulas are secret, even kept from the BCS, which means no one, absolutely no one, knows if they are accurate or honest......

The truth is, no one knows. Five of the six computer rankers protect their formulas, claiming proprietary rights to their algorithms. They refuse to share the formula with anyone, including the BCS, which, as such, is incapable of checking on the accuracy of the rankings.

Repeat: Absolutely no one has any idea if the weekly BCS standings are true. No one. And they don’t seem to care."- Illegitimate BCS process holds game hostage By Dan Wetzel .

Good observation. Formula's for most polls, Fox polls,CNN polls or whatever, are not known by the public nor does most of the public try to find out. It seems that the BCS is the same way.

Hence why there are still so many against a playoff at all, much less a proper one.
