How about when one of your players gains X number of yards, the CPU then calls defenses that assign him extra coverage? The only way any computer can "think", is by using algorithms.

You do have a point, but I term thinking as spontaneous and has the possibility of making a mistake. A computer can only do what you tell it to do. But I know what you mean.

The way it can be weighted is debatable. 1st and 10 at your own 35... what play should I run, if I have not played them before and there is no calculations yet. This seems like I would take the bill walsh approach and script my first 5 plays (this is actually done in chess as well, the first 5 moves are kind of random then it begins to start using the long algorithms.) then make your calculating moves after that.
