Message: [QUOTE="Delmar, post: 876797, member: 3944"] I will concede that the process got better as time went on. At first, the supposedly unsubjective computer ratings were way off because of, as you say, poorly weighted factors. There were some obvious mistakes that have been mentioned already in this stream. I guess I don't share your trust in data. It may be math, but somebody still has to interpret it. I don't think they ever got all that close to getting all the wrinkles out. You are right about what lies ahead. It's likely more teams could argue that they are #4 in the country as opposed to being #2, and school, conference, and regional biases will be at play. But I think it will be very popular, and there will be pressure to go to 8 teams. That will upset the status of the whole bowl system and so who knows how that will eventually play out. [/QUOTE]
