I know polls don't matter, but for me, the topic is fun to discuss.

The BCS was brave to incorporate computer rankings back in the day.  
But of course, they bastardize it by requiring them to omit MOV.  So instead of getting the computer's best attempts at ranking teams, they said "nah, give us something less than your best".

The BCS would have worked better if we hadn't any chance of knowing how the computer rankings worked. Knowing about the significance of MOV degraded the game. But removing MOV degraded the rankings.
Of course, it was never really possible to "not know" the nature of the computer rankings (even if the equations were hidden/unpublished, we'd have figured out empirically that MOV was a part of it).

the problem is that nothing is perfect so we keep tweaking it, usually from a knee jerk
it's an unperfect game played by unperfect people in an unperfect world
I liked the BCS, sorry to see it go

Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, they are met by St. Peter.

 


He says, "Sisters, you all led such exemplary lives that the Lord is granting you six months to go back to earth and be anyone you wish to be.” 


 


The first nun says, "I want to be Sophia Loren." And ‘poof’ she's gone.
 
 The second says, "I want to be Madonna" and ‘poof’ she's gone.
 
 The third says, "I want to be Alberta Pipalini." 


 


St. Peter looks perplexed. "Who ?", he asks 
 
 "Alberta Pipalini," replies the nun.
 
 St. Peter shakes his head and says, "I'm sorry, but that name just doesn't ring a bell."
 
 The nun then takes a newspaper out of her habit and hands it to St. Peter.
 
 St. Peter reads the paper and starts laughing. He hands it back to her and says, "No sister, the paper says it was the 'Alberta Pipeline' that was laid by 1,400 men in 6 months"

I am doing well, thank you for asking.  The stock market regained a good portion of the rather dramatic losses of yesterday.

I hate looking at my retirement and seeing I lost more money (on paper) on a day than I used to make in a month plus.

So, I don't look.
