Getting margin of victory out of the BCS calculations was the correct thing to happen. It does college football no good for a team to beat another team 70-0 just because MOV is factored in to the algorithms. The MOV does not necessarily tell us ANYTHING about the team that wins. Instead, it tells us everything about the team
that loses.
The goal in football is to win the game by a point. The goal is NOT to rout the opponent 70 to nothing just because they suck. The worst part about human beings and their subjective determinations on how good or bad teams are, is putting any weight behind dramatic blowouts. Notre Dame is a much better team that the one that escaped yesterday with a 3 point win over the armPitt university. On the flipside, Notre Dame is not as good as the team that pummeled Oklahoma. Using MOV in the computer polling and a program would not know what we all here already know, that Notre Dame is probably somewhere in the middle.
BUT!!!!!!! if you take MOV out of the computer algorithms and reduce it to a simple win-loss calculation(which they have done), you make things much more objective.
Right now, the poll is right. And after this weekend when Oregon and K-State win again, they will swap places and K-State will drop to #3 and it will be right again....
