BCS - Not If You Lose, It's When You Lose

Found November 21, 2007 on Swope Blog:
TEAMS: Missouri Tigers,  Iowa Hawkeyes,  Ohio State Buckeyes,  Kansas Jayhawks,  Purdue Boilermakers,  Oklahoma Sooners,  Akron Zips,  LSU Tigers

With the many, many flaws of the BCS scoring system, the one that really sticks out to me is how much the human element is taken into account with the polling formula. And, as we see year after year, when it comes to human rankings, it does not matter if you lose a game, it matters when you lose a game.
