BCS Declares Germany Winner Of World War II

[Boomerang]

After determining the Big-12 championship game participants the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS
declared Germany to be the winner of World War II. "Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden (*), Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule--our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."

Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated "The US only had two major victories-- Japan and Germany. The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests--they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event." German Chancellor Adolph Hitler said "Yes, we lost to the US; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany ʼs rankings. Hitler protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces."

The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented "France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2."

Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines.

This may be a record for bringing a thread back from the grave! I was reading threads about Germany and found this gem. We are well past the BCS but this thread is funny!

So I can explain it to you but I can’t UNDERSTAND it for you. Those are two different things. So, the way the BCS worked was that a computer algorithm determined college football rankings. College football is played by teams at the university level. Rankings are a determination of how good teams are on a numerical basis. 1 is the best and then it goes down from there. Therefore, a computer program placed teams in a rank structure and, based on that ranking, they played for a national championship. A national championship is a game or series of games that determine who are the best team in a given area in a given time frame, usually yearly.

Now, why is this funny? During World War II, sometimes called the War to End All Wars, Germany was defeated by the United States of America. That is the country where we live. Before this defeat however, Germany reeled off a string of fairly impressive wins. Think of it as say the #2 team defeating other nationally ranked teams. Think Clemson beating Notre Dame, Georgia and Texas A&M. Now, along comes Bama (USA) and they just whip the snot out of Clemson (Germany). I mean they just whip them real bad. Say like 100 to 13 or something.

Most people would agree that Bama (USA) is the best in that scenario. But no, the BCS at the time did not look at just how bad Bama beat Clemson. They saw that Clemson beat a few other ranked teams and determined that they were the best. Therefore, even though Germany (Clemson) was just embarrassed by the USA (Bama), they were determined to be the best by a computer program.

I hope this clears things up for you and helps you understand why I found this thread to be funny and under appreciated. If not, please, let me know.

After reading this post, I leave you as follows.

I did not watch college football much during the BCS era so I don’t know if my long, meandering post even makes sense.

Have a great evening.

This reminds me of an old pilot story, which I read actually happened.

The international language of air traffic control is English. If a pilot is flying a French made Airbus jetliner from China and landing in South Korea.... the pilot and air traffic control are supposed to be speaking English.

So a pilot while in Berlin started speaking German to the airport ground control. Ground control told the pilot to speak English.

The pilot came back with something like, “I am a German, flying a German airliner in the capital of Germany, why do I have to speak English”?

After a few seconds a very British accent came over the frequency saying (and I’ll clean it up).....

“Because you lost the bloody freakin’ war!”
