assani, if osu is so undeserving why do the computers rank them so high? there was no preseason bias from the computers.

because the computers take margin of victory greatly into consideration, so that a team is rewarded for running up the score. If you eliminate this and just rank each game as "win" or "loss" and then look at Ohio St vs Hawaii I think it'll tell a different story.

Good teams can run up the score. Bad teams can't.

agreed. That doesn't mean good teams always try to run up the score.

Also "bad teams can't run up the score" does not logically imply "a team that can't run up the score is a bad team."(If A then not B does not mean that If not B then A)

Honestly, I liked the old system better.
I have no problem with multiple teams all claiming to be national champs. It's much better than one game getting declared the NC game and the winner getting crowned even if they back into the game and barely squeek out a victory while a team likely just as good and with the same record wins their game by a blowout and can't even be considered for the Championship.
