13-1 Houston completely exposed what a farce this rigged system is - lets see:
Houston handled F$U far easier than #1 rated Clemson - F$U came into the Houston game 37-3 over the past 3 years with participation in 2 BCS Invitational Tournaments and a "BCS Invitational Tournament National Title" two years ago and a tie for #3 in the nation last year. Again, Houston handled them with ease in their bowl while Clemson struggled to the wire against F$U.
  • The P5-BCS-Only Invitational Rankings ranked 10-2 F$U #9 in the nation (2nd highest in P5 ACC) coming into the game in the P5-BCS-Only Final Rankings that determine the 4-team "Invitational" with 12-1 Houston, a non-P5 Conference Champion via a Championship Game, coming into the game ranked #18, 9 spots behind F$U who had an inferior record, nor a conference championship or even participation in a Conference Championship Game! Again, Houston proceeded to show what a preposterous farce the P5-BCS-Only System "Rankings" are that determine who gets invited to the "P5-BCS-Only 4-team Invitational" by again handling F$U far easier than the P5-BCS-Only's #1 ranked team via their "Selection Committee's" hopelessly biased, absurd and completely subjective "rankings".
  • Houston was the lowest "ranked" 1-loss FBS Conference Champion by 14 ranking spots!!!! (next lowest 1-Loss FBS Conference Champion was Oklahoma at #4!. Add a spot for the lowest ranked 1-Loss FBS Conference Champion via an actual Conference Championship Game - next lowest via that criteria would be MSU @ #3!).
  • Houston was ranked 12 spots lower than 11-2 "BCS Conference" Pac12 Conference Champion Stanford???
  • In the "Final Rankings" of the P5-BCS-Only System Rankings that determined the 4-team Invitational, Houston was ranked behind FBS non-conference champion "BCS Conference Members" #5 Iowa (12-1), #7 ahia state (11-1), #9 F$U (10-2), #10 UNC (11-2), #11 TCU (10-2), #12 'Ole Miss (9-3), #13 (10-2) Northwestern, #14 scUM (9-3), #15 Oregon (9-3), #16 Okie State (10-2), #17 Baylor (9-3) and Independent #8 ND (10-2).
Beyond laughable to claim that 4 "BCS Conference Members" with 9-3 records deserved to be ranked higher than a 12-1 Houston team that was also a FBS Conference Champion via a Conference Championship Game! Absolutely laughable which demonstrates the absurd self-serving BIAS of the "ranking system" as the people running the rankings are THE BCS CONFERENCES THEMSELVES - gee, how surprising that they have all these 3-loss and 2-loss BCS Conference Member Teams ranked in front of a 12-1 non-BCS Conference Champion that just rolled the absolutely most successful BCS Conference Member Team since the "P5-BCS-Only 4-team Invitational" was inaugurated in 2013 (coming into the bowls, F$U the most successful BCS team at 37-3 two invitationals and a BCS-System MNC in 2013, second most successful would be ahia state at 37-4 with one invitational tournament and 1 MNC BCS-System MNC in 2014, next would be MSU at 36-4 with this year being their first invitational, next would be Oregon 33-7 two invitational tournaments 0 BCS-System MNCs.....). So again, the farcical BCS-Conference Controlled and biased "ranking system" had a 12-1 FBS Conference Champion that just ROLLED the most successful BCS-Conference Team since the advent of the BCS-Diven Invitational/Ranking System in 2013 ranked at #18 in their "Final Rankings" that drove this year's BCS-Controlled, BCS-Rankings-Driven "4-Team Invitational" -- that's some interesting and laughable shiz right there and anyone who claims that doesn't prove "bias" relative to the "Final Rankings" in scientific terms DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE SCIENTIFIC DEFINITION OF BIAS IN STATISTICS OR HOW YOU PROVE IT!!!
