BCS Poll Ranks Germany #1, USA Ranked #4
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,
England 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."

The German Chancellor said "Yes, we lost to the US; but we defeated #2
ranked France in only 6 weeks." Hitler has been criticized for seeking
dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany's rankings.
"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," said the Chancellor.

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.

That's funny Nort.

Probably completely lost on our non-American friends, but anyone who suffers though the NCAA Football schedules year after year can't help but crack a smile.

This is hilarious... Sadly though until the 10 or so schools that reap all the rewards from the BCS decide to share the wealth and go to a playoff system the BCS is the "best" we'll get. :(
