Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 876810, member: 40"] The point of the BCS originally was to take away the interpretive element. To apply an algorithm and let the math select the best two teams and then match them up in the national championship game to duke it out. The system was supposed to do the work; nobody needed to interpret. The problem was, people got unhappy with the results and tweaked the variables so that interpretive conditions [like polls] were more influential. Net result: it enabled people to exercise more indirect "influence" on which teams rose to the top as a function of poll voting, introducing a lot more subjectivity to what should be a straightforward objective analysis.
