You maybe right, but this is analogous to replacing the plate umpire in baseball with a computerized system of calling balls and strikes. In spite of inconsistencies no one wants to take the human element (with its warts) out of the equation. I might suggest something like the use of VAR in soccer which is used to validate, not replace the referee.

The strike zone is 100% measureable. Umpire could 100% be replaced with computer. They did it in tennis without problem.

Picking and ranking teams is part art; part science. No pro sport nor any college sport (except men's D1 college hockey) uses a no-discretion computer ranking to choose teams.
