    Newsflash: Computers are the reason we are in this mess in the first place.

    PS: the final polls are not decided by computers they are decided by humans. Enjoy a 3rd or 4th place finish, that is something to be proud of.

      Yep.

      I have always and will always be against computers deciding the champion.

            The computers aren't perfect, but until the champion is decided on the field as opposed to by someones vote, it is figure skating.

                Then Peter R. Wolfe is part of the problem.

                  If you really don't know about the Wolffe computer program and rankings your credibility is toast. You're done here.

                    you said it was wolff. in fact, you are still misspelling it. So, no I had no idea who this "wolff" person was.

                      So what happens if all the computer polls in the BCS formula place Utah #1?

                      What happens to the crystal football Tim and Urban held up tonight? Is it flown to Utah so Kyle and BJ do it at the parade next Friday?

                      Computer polls are part of the problem. Letting a computer decide who plays for the national championship is why all of this arguing is going on all over the country.

                        The computer polls are a ruse by SU.

                        The computer polls are used to determine the BCS rankings. the BCS champ is automatic as a result of winning the BCS championship game.

                        The only hope for the utes was the AP. But the AP does not take into consideration BCS rank or the computer polls. They are basically irrelevant to the AP Final Poll.

                        hence my comparison to John Marine, who at least has a rad youtube video.

                          It's a lot like when they figured out the earth isn't the center of the universe.

                          What a conundrum. The same computer that decided OK v. FL now says Utah no. 1. LOL.

                            Rogue computer. The computer itself is now telling the BCS to go fuck itself.

                              Then this is a good thing because whatever can take down the BCS I am all for it.
