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 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 Hitler 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 .
