re: BCS: If you had to pick either polls or computers...?

I'd prefer a simple set of rules that determines who plays in the BCS NC game.
1. Both teams must be the outright champions of their respective (BCS) conferences or own the primary share of a conference co-championship. The special rule for Notre Dame would be that they have to own 1 of the 2 best win percentages among BCS schools going into bowl season. Politics would probably prevent non-BCS schools from being excluded de jure, but this is just what I would prefer. The non-BCS schools can just form their own division and hold their own Division I-FBS Non-BCS NC game for all I care.
2. From the teams that are still eligible after applying rule 1, the two with the highest season win percentage would be the participants in the NC game.
3. If there is a tie after applying rule 2, head-to-head results would be the first tie-breaker in the unlikely event that they exist. After that either computer polls or strength of schedule (opponents' win percentage) should be the next tiebreaker.
I would want to keep the human element out of the selection as much as possible. I'd like the individual teams ultimatley to have complete control over whether they play for the championship.

So, NO teams would ever have any incentive to play tough OOC games.

1) Not all teams are in conferences.
2) A conference season is only 2/3 or 3/4 of the entire season. Teams should be judged on their whole seasons without any outsider giving any special designation to a fraction of their season.
