COMPUTERS NO BETTER THAN HUMANS IN PICKING NO. 1
2003
Overview
Such silliness demanded a remedy, and the Bowl Championship Series formula was born, combining the best wisdom of eight computer rankings with polls and other measures. The BCS would match the top two teams annually for an undisputed championship game; and best of all, the matchup would be determined not solely by fickle, moody and prejudiced human beings, but with the aid of the utter objectivity that only the digital age could supply. College football officials have tried tinkering with the formula. They reduced victory margins when that seemed unfair, but now it's unfair to a USC team that outscores everyone by bucketfuls of points. Some argue for a playoff system, some argue for creating a human oversight committee that could overrule computer blindness, and some argue for other measures. But we can't agree, and maybe we shouldn't. We Trojans were cardinal red about this, since USC had spanked Alabama on Alabama's own field that season. Crimson Tide fans countered that the game was early in the season, and Alabama improved more over the course of the season than USC did. Both were right. No computer could solve such a controversy, and frankly, no humans could either.
