Congratulations joeybee! Your PC is apparently one of the computers used by the BCS

You saw the BCS Championship Game, right? Well, at least the parts that mattered before turning to something more interesting, most notably Alabama rolling to a huge lead over Notre Dame and ESPN showing A.J. McCarron's girlfriend.

So you know that Alabama is the best team in the nation. Nobody in their right mind would pick Notre Dame ahead of Alabama after witnessing the carnage that was 42-14 on Monday night.

Oh, but the BCS has a computer that still prefers the Irish. So let the BCS bashing continue.

The Colley Matrix, one of the six computer systems used by the BCS, has Notre Dame ranked No. 1 and the Crimson Tide No. 2. Notre Dame's final ranking was 0.973997 to Alabama's 0.961139. Notre Dame had an edge in strength of schedule. Alabama won more games against top 25 teams in the rankings. Margin of victory is not part of the calculations. No matter how the computer spit out that reading, it's worth mentioning again: An entity the BCS uses still prefers Notre Dame to Alabama.

2. My computer is smart...it also ranks the Cowpies last in odds of winning the SB

in Romo's lifetime!

3. Behind Jacksonville, KC, etc?

Get a Mac!

[joeybee12]

5. Oh yeah....

Try and tell me Romo has what it takes to win a playoff game!

6. The Ravens won an SB with Trent Dilfer.

Sure, Romo sucks, but anything is possible. IF they had a good team otherwise.

4. I hear tell it ranked the Red Sox to win the AL East last year!!

[joeybee12]

7. No...but you're close...it failed miserably when it predicted the Pirates

would not suck big time!

[madinmaryland]

8. Actually the Buccos finished the closest to 500 than they have in many years!

[joeybee12]

9. And yet it still made 19 years without getting to the playoffs! nt

10. Strength of schedule is the reason why

Same thing that was used to downgrade the TCU and Boise State teams of the past. I'm sure the fact that they faced Alabama gave them that edge. It misses the point, it doesn't evaluate how good you are but how good your competition is.
