The New Face of the BCS

In dramatic lore, they are known as Worthless Wastes of Computing Power. These are only aliases. Their real names are Anderson & Hester, Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Massey, Sagarin, and Wolfe.

The House Rock Built has been violently against robots (except, of course, for our dear leader) befouling such a prisitne tradition like college football. But if we have to live with a bunch of number-crunching junkers to determine the national champion, we should at least do it in style. The current set of computers is strictly limited in scope and hamstrung by a puzzling set of rules put forward by the brain surgeons at the BCS. I say bollocks to this. Let the computers unleash their planet-sized brains toward the task at hand. Kick out those old computers and replace them with these paramount figures in computing and we will have rankings so accurate they will completely elimate any of the joy and uncertainty of watching the games. That is, until they realize they don't need us and turn us into fuel.
