Seems like all the computer polls were broken when the BCS made them stop considering margin of victory. This is just another example of that.

Only one more year of the BCS and then we can start complaining about the playoff system.

Edit: fix spelling

Your link didn't send me to the article. I'm on my mobile so that may be the reason

The link seems to be working OK, but the gist is that one of the BCS computer models ranked ND above Alabama even after the NCG.

ND only lost one game...

And OSU didn't lose any...They were the ONLY unbeaten team in the NATION! Screw the BCS...computers and human voters...as well as the AP...it's all a joke.

ND was 12-1 vs 13-1 Bama...how can a computer rank ND ahead of them...makes no sense. It not only underscores "flaws" as the "expert" Edwards calls it....it also proves this system is a joke. Oh well...at least he'll have a job at ESPN concerning the BSC for one more year. Then we'll have other "experts" to tell us what we need to know...which is so stupid IMO.

i'm thrilled at OSU's record this year, especially our bowl win over scUM. but lets not kid ourselves. i would put a 2 loss georgia or bama team ahead of us in a second. probably oregon too, considering how they played against k-state. a 1 point win over a hugely disappointing michigan state (even if it was an away game) doesn't impress anyone. barely beat purdue at home (even when braxton was playing we didn't dominate), and were close (on paper) to several other teams. yes, the only thing that matters is wins/losses, but in a weak big 10, no way we would've made the national championship game, had we been eligible. one more win in the B1G champ game would still put us behind bama, IMO. that's why we need scUM, nebraska, michigan state, wisconsin, and penn state to step up their game big time. makes our future undefeated seasons look even better!
