The champion isn't decided by a computer, that is just stupid rhetoric. Whoever wins the BCS National Championship is the champion.

So is the "How did Michigan get worse" argument. They did not get worse, they simple had their chance to beat Ohio State, and now an equally talented Florida team that played the hardest schedule in NCAA football this season is going ot get that opportunity. What has Michigan done that makes them deserving of a rematch when Florida had an equally as strong season?

And I don't know how you can argue that the team who wins a playoff is the best team in a sport. If you want the national champion to be determined by a playoff, that is one thing, but you have to accept that that drastically changes the system. In European soccer, they don't have playoffs to name the champion, because the best team is determined by the regular season. That is basically how college football is set up.

Look at baseball. The Yankees were the best team in baseball all season, the Cardinals were probably not even in the top 10. Then they win the playoffs, so they are World Series champions, but they aren't the best team in the league. That is how college football is, the best two teams, as determined by 12 games, face off in the national championship. Not a bunch of good teams get thrown into a mix to determine who is playing the best in the last couple weeks.
