If the lesser conferences don't make it in, tough.              First of all, 2/3 of the BCS ranking is "human factor," but instead of 13       committee members, you have 127 (assuming you go back to using the AP poll -       there hasn't been a Harris poll since BCS ended).              Second, none of the teams know for certain what the complete formula is, as,       except for Colley, the computer ranking methodologies are kept private.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
