So the man who tweaks the algorithms ... he has no sway over the outcome?

So Google does not tweak algorithms to favor it's own sites and advertisers?

So Facebook does not tweak algorithms to favor it's agenda?

So it has not been proven that certain computer polls, such as Jeff Sagarin's, were tweaked to favor teams in specific regions of the country, or with strong traditions? Somuchso that certain computer polls and ratings systems were eliminated from the current playoff system structure?

I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree.

You're claiming his rating system is foolproof and incorruptible while even he (Boyd) would not boast the same claim.
