Well, basically, with the latest changes to 'perfect' the BCS, we do have what we used to have. The computer polls count less (I think about 20%) and the human polls (the two of them) account for the remaining 80% of the BCS totals.
Strength of schedule is all but pointless. The BCS has been reactive in its changes -- and now looks pretty silly. While the BCS isn't so good at deciding who's #1 and #2, maybe #1-#4 would be a little less contraversial. You'd also have the added benefit of shutting up the people that want a playoff.
Also, we need to get every conference playing a championship game. The fact that OU will likely have to play its toughest opponent from the Big XII north twice and at the risk of losing its berth in the NC game while USC and tOSU have bye weeks is just silly.
