BCS Nat Title game Scenarios

do the computers take points into account?
now Michigan did score a late TD and two-point conversion
Florida was down by 4 to auburn and did that dumb
"let's pass the ball to each other" ala Cal-Stanford
allowing auburn to score a TD on a fumble to win by 10 (not 4)
you never know, the late Michigan TD, and UF foolishness
could make the slight difference in who gets #2
but I'd still maintain it should be two conference champions
IF there are only two spots
if you want to make a playoff with 4, 8, 16 teams~then whatever

Nope, computers ignore the margin of victory. 16 team playoff with the first two rounds played the two weeks following Thanksgiving at the site of the higher seed is the way to go. Then the final four at a bowl site on January 1st and the championship game a week later. That gives them a nice long break and would allow the 12 teams eliminated before the final four to still get a bowl game.
