The people who don't like the one on the right aren't going to like the computer-nudged one on the left, either. One of the "fun" aspects of college sports is that its essence is grievance politics over limited data.
A mostly official, but not completely official, side-by-side of the playoff brackets the committee and the simulated BCS would've generated at season's end:

Indiana was the worst team in college football for 150 years and then they let you start paying players and they immediately became No. 1 and the only conclusion one can draw is they were the only ones who didn’t realize you could pay players under the table for the first 150 years.

And not no weird little shitty Big Ten title. Not one of those sneaky 2010s years where nobody else was eligible. The former losingest program in college football history is now the only undefeated team in Division I and the #1 seed, all secured by beating the undefeated five-star Buckeyes

Me if Indiana loses: They have a better Best Win than Georgia and a better loss than Georgia. Keep them #2
Me if Ohio State loses: #9 or something. Send them to Oklahoma where the football is unpleasant. That'll teach them

Got more height truthism for @maitreyiaa.bsky.social and @seeratsohi.bsky.social to look into after today's pod. Apparently A'ja Wilson is listed at 6'4, which is shorter than Aliyah Boston (6'5). I watched the Fever-Aces series, and aint no way that's true. Probs not as fudged as Brink, but still

On top of the feasibility issue, there's also an equity problem, given that the program isn't open to state employees with certain types of jobs, or where work takes them to certain types of spaces or requires travel.

Indiana is one of the worst states in the US for childcare. So, I can see why state employees might welcome a take-your-infant-to-work program. But I'm skeptical about how it will work in practice, given that infants are allowed only if they cause no disruptions and have no impact on productivity.
