DNC or the BCS

A funny piece on how the DNC resembles the BCS

• Whether it's Super Delegates, or BCS ranking algorithms, no one really understands the details.
• The delegates, much like the BCS-influencing voters, are separated into two distinct groups.
• One group is the pledged delegates/Coaches Poll, they oftentimes predetermine their stance, and practice homerism.
• The other group, unpledged delegates and AP Voters, earn their seats just by being current or former party officials. They can announce their decision early, or wait and cast a passionate vote at the end.
  
• You can have a better record in the regular season, win the head-to-head matchup, and still not be chosen as the best by a committee.
  
• Blowout victories in meaningless contests help sometimes. To illustrate, A.P. #2, Hillary is struggling, but fortunately she had a November home game Tuesday against a MEAC payout victim. It might not have mattered, but hanging a 77 on the scoreboard sure energized the fan base.
  
• The BCS committee/Super delegates don't necessarily have either of the teams/candidates best interests in mind, but rather their own larger interests
