How can a committee which inherently has bias be better at ranking teams than coaches and computers?

They shouldn't pick playoff teams based on the BCS (like RPI), but it should be used to rank the teams. Oregon being 4th is a joke. They aren't top 12 in any of the computer rankings and they are 7th in the coaches poll. They were placed 4th for political reasons. That is acceptable?

If we use the BCS rank the Top 2 teams will likely make the playoff. The 3rd team can be jumped by 4th and 5th, but 6th is likely too far away. The 4th team can be jumped the 5th and 6th, but 7th is likely too far away. We have the committee to pick the 4 teams but the BCS is there to guide them. Right now there is no checks and balances.

BTW 
2018, 2019, and 2020 the BCS had the same exact Top 4. 2014, 2016, and 2017 the same teams were in the Top 4 but 2 and 3 were flipped. 2015 had the same Top 4 but 3 and 4 were flipped. So we get the same 4 teams all 7 years, and maybe one matchup difference if the committee didn't make a change.
