   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.
