Default BCS Declares germany Winner of WWII

BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II

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.

2nd FRANCE
3rd JAPAN
4th US BCS

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 .

So did Britain even make the top 25? Germany will play Florida in the national championship and get their sauerkraut "over-rated" be-hinds handed to them.

Bah, anyone who has done their proper reading will know that Italy won the war! (Nod to Catch-22, although I hardly expect anyone to catch up).

Are you sure? I thought the expression said "Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees"

That's the proper expression, but caspofungin quoted the old man correctly. That's why he believed they had won.
Catch up indeed!
