See, this is what gets me. We were sold on the BCS bullshit because the powers that be said "it makes all the games count". That is not true. A loss early in the season doesn't count as much as a loss later in the season. It shouldn't matter when the loss happens the repercussions should be the same. The voters are too lazy to do their homework. It is simply, "well number 3 and 4 lost so I guess number 5 and 6 move up". It is lazy and it benefits the teams that schedule their tough opponents early and schedule Podunk State late in the season.
My arguments haven't been about ND and where they should be ranked or whether they have been over ranked in the past. They have absolutely been over valued based on tradition and favoratism. My arguments have been strictly about the flaws in the system and how this season it seems to benefit the SEC. Thanks for being honest about your opinions and trying to be objective.
