US Ranked 4th AP - 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 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.” 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. United States head coach Harry S Truman was criticized by many as having poor taste for scheduling a “politicking” interview during halftime of the German bombing raids over Great Britain. In that interview, Truman stated, “Any way you look at it, there is going to be a really good military force that gets left out. But when you come right down to it, our head-to-head victory over the Germans has to be the deciding factor.” A US fan also made the point that “Germany is getting all the style points right now because of their sexy offense, which continues to obliterate weaker opponents and show off their might after the battle is already won. But what about defense?” I stole this from: http://www.southernsportsgeeks.com/2008/12/bcs-dec lares-germany-winner-of-wwii/ | ||

"BCS Declares Germany Winner of World War II" I did no such thing. We all know the Canadiens did. (Message edited by buellinachinashop on December 24, 2008) | ||

I thought it was Buell Customer Service at first. By the title I was thinking somehow BMW had better customer service, glad I was wrong  | ||

I guess the major flaw their computer simulation has, that I can see, is the order the victories. He who wins last wins best | ||

Another flaw in the simulation is the victory against Sweden. How could Germany defeat Sweden when they were "neutral" (they must have counted Sweden letting German trains cross from Norway to Finland). Now some Swedes did fight during the war for example, in 1939 Finland against the Russians. And others served in the Waffen SS fighting in Poland and defending Berlin at the end of the war. | ||

"wanna buy french ww2 assualt rifles? aint never been fired and only dropped once." OK... That's funny!! French rifles in that kind of condition aren't a rare item though. |
