I think this boils down to the eye test and who they think would win the most games if these teams play


BINGO. But "eye test" is biased in nature. It creates the opportunity for them to think, "Surely Oklahoma would beat Baylor" simply because they have ingrained biases towards teams like Oklahoma (positive) and also Baylor (negative).

Eye Test creates a way for past program prestige to slip its way into the rankings, and that's not good.

Yea, I think they got the top 10ish right, but after that they clearly just mailed it in and didn't know much about those teams. Really didnt like seeing a 2 loss ND over an undefeated Minnesota, 3 days after ND BARELY beat VT. Who's even on this committee? They probably do .1% of the research a computer can do. BCS had it right all along.
