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.

Except they didn't conquer Sweden.

That's pretty funny.

Maybe so, maybe so. But, ain’t it a bitch that the team captain was no longer around to collect the ‘team trophy’?

I would like to see Germany go head-to-head with Italy in the upcoming “Fascist Bowl”. Italy fields a unpredictable team but with Mussolini (”The Duce”) as head coach, anything could happen.

No, they also lost to Thailand (look it up - it really happened in WWII), the British, and the Americans. So that's 4 losses for the French.

Of course not, Sweden forfeited through its complete capitulation in advance of the game.

Mixing the metaphor, Sweden is like a rape victim who neurotically refuses to admit she was a victim and then helps the rapist rape her neighbor. All this in a fit of psychotic denial to further her delusion that she was a willing participant.

I thought this was hilarious. I usually don’t pass these things on, but with OU playing Missouri while Texas sits home, it just begs for a playoff system.

Same thing with McCoy being named Big 12 offensive player of the year, but is second team Big 12 QB.

The logic is beyond my ability to comprehend.

While intended as humor, it actually represents the average german mindset! With luck you’ll never have to work for one...almost as bad as Indian supervisors! Unfortunately, like exit polls you’ll never get one to admit he thinks of himself as ‘the master race’. But like ‘elitists’, it all comes out in their demeanor! Makes a BDS moonbat look like a piker! Remember...the Stasi was disbanded only in recent history....

Well, I’m at a loss. I guess you need to be a sports fan to understand this.

Well, you left out at least Dien Bien Phu (French Indochina)...that’s 5. Pretty sure they’ve gone a’piker in a couple other disasters, so the count may not be over! Tho’ with Obama as CinC, I envision a return to the top ranks by Sarkozi in no time!

Perhaps they did but the strength of schedule numbers just aren’t there. Their opponents were unranked.
