| Tiivistelmä: | The author evaluated the performance of the 10 ranking schemes the bowl-championship-series committee used during the 1999 and 2000 seasons to select bowl teams. The author found that almost all are equally accurate, but the Seattle Times scheme clearly underperforms the others.In addition, two proposed changes to the BCS selection formula, to prohibit computer ranking schemes from considering the margin of victory in their rankings, and (2) to include explicitly the outcomes of head-to-head games among teams being considered for BCS bowls, could do more harm than good and could decrease the likelihood of the committee selecting the best teams for the BCS bowls. |
