The Bowl Championship Series is designed to match the two top teams in college football in a title game. To determine the top ranked teams, polls are combined with a number of quantitative ratings of the teams known collectively as the computer ranking. The computer ranking serves primarily to offer a validation of the polls. The individuals whose quantitative ratings are used in the computer ranking have never been given a clear objective to design their ratings for and they are limited in the inputs that they can use (for example, they can not use score or site of game). For all of these reasons, I am advocating a boycott of the Bowl Championship Series by all quantitative analysts.
