College football rankings: BCS makes decision on Florida State, Alabama​

As most know, the BCS 2-Team 1-Game Championship was the direct predecessor to the current CFP 4-Team Invitational (and run by the same entities that then controlled the CFP - an Alliance of the P5, now P4, Athletic Conferences). The BCS did not use a Committee to select the 2 teams that played in the BCS Championship Game - they used a proprietary computer algorithm (again, this computer algorithm would then become the property of the CFP). So the BCS Computer Algorithm predicted 100% of the first 9 CFP Final Rankings correctly (including the Top 4 ordinally) - this is the first year that the CFP Selection Committee's Final Top 4 is different than the the BCS's Computer Algorithm's Top 4. It is just another example of how utterly subjective, and unprecedented, this year's selections were.

Wasn't it in 2000 that the BCS put Florida State into the final 2 over Miami even though Miami won the h2h (but lost to Washington I believe)?

Pitt is still going to claim another natty this year!! The selection committee didn’t want them in, due to that sophisticated offense, they run.
