BCS declares Germany WINNER of WWII
USA 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 Sudentenland and continuing into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway,Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only home losses came against the USA and Russia; however considering their entire body of work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule (SOS)-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 France in only six weeks and racked up numerous early wins. I don't want to hear a word about 'cupcakes'! "'Cupcakes' ist verbotten!" 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."
The French ranking has also come under scrutney. 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. United States coach Harry Truman was criticized for bad taste for scheduling a "politicking" during the halftime of the Germans bombing of Great Britian. A US fan also made the point that "The German's got too many style points for their **** offense whichcontinues to obliterate weaker opponents and show off their might after the battle is won. But what about defense ?
Germany also ran up the score on inconference doormats Greece and Yugoslavia to go with their wins against very weak OOC schedule that included Crete, Morroco, Algeria, and Tunisia.
No doubt the French were ranked number two for their early OOC successes against Tunisia, Algeria, Chad, Madagascar, Djibouti, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Togo, and Cameroon.
With only one conference loss to number one ranked Germany, they showed how to run up the score on the little guys.
The US was ranked number four in the BCS rankings because of the early inconference loss by the US military industrial complex to the US bankers in 1929; a contest they were heavily favored to win convincingly due to their superior talent and coaching.
Critics say the United States misuses superior talent and has very predictable play calling which is why they always struggle in-conference, but they have no explanation for the impressive string of OOC blow out victories over ranked opponents like Germany and Japan.
