...wonder about Larry Keech's BCS voting?

Me either, until I saw it. Here is Larry's final top 5:

No. 1: Ohio State
No. 2: Boise State
No. 3: Michigan
No. 4: Wisconsin
No. 5: Florida

To explain this ranking system, he said:
"I try to minimize the subjectivity as much as possible therefore I went with teams that lost zero games at the top and then those that lost one game. And then I rank those that lost one higher if they lost to a team that was ranked higher at the time."

That's fine to have a system, but once you realize your system produces Wisconsin over FL and Boise State over Michigan, don't you change the system? Or maybe you pull a Stravinsky and slightly alter the results when they don't sound good. On the other hand, at least he got the relative position of Michigan and Florida correct...ok, we'll keep him around. But seriously, if we're going to allow College Football's national championship to be decided by a vote (this in not the NBA all-star game), we have to recognize that some voters will be uninformed. (read: crazy).
