After determining the 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?"

That's pretty good. Although I do have to correct this journalist: The victory over Sweden? Sweden wasn't on Germany's conference or non-conference schedule that season.

Yeah, like Switzerland, Sweden didn't even field a team in WWII. In counterpoint, however, he did leave Germany's very impressive win over Luxembourg off the list!
