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 Sudatenland  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.
