But the BCS is tainted, since it used an independent poll before they pulled out. They used an independent poll to decide what their poll would be. Without the AP and having changed how they do them, the outcomes could be different in the years before their "tweaking" of the poll.

Wait, what?

Why would using the AP Poll taint the BCS? I mean, I would agree that it led to some deserved criticisms in 2003 and 2004; but I don't think the BCS is in itself tainted because it utilized the poll.
