1. I can't believe it either

Buffalo's been hanging around that worst team in CFB area in recent years. And they beat an undefeated Ball State at that. David Letterman can't be too happy.

2. It just emphasizes the stupidity of ranking teams.

Ball State was the 12th best College team in the country, if you believed the rankings. Year in and year out the true National champion is never known.

BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II

US Ranked 4th

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 Hiter (sic) 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's 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."
