BCS Computer Rankings...

Showing Which Teams Have Accomplished the Most to Date

Ohio State and Oregon Are #1-2

BCS Report:  What Hopes Does Each Team Have for New Orleans?
  • 2 more undefeated teams fall, leaving only #1 Ohio St. and #3 Kansas (and #33 Hawaii, which is undefeated but also winless vs. the top-80:  Hawaii's schedule)
  • Ohio St. and #2 Oregon have accomplished the most of any teams to date
  • #4 (8-1) Arizona St., which has lost only at #2 Oregon, edges #5 (8-1) LSU, which, despite an impressive 4 wins versus current-top-25 teams, has played 3 of its 4 toughest foes at home and lost at #28 Kentucky
  • The top conference has been the SEC; the toughest schedule has been Washington's
  • (1-8) Notre Dame falls to #93, behind 92 teams that have the good sense to attempt 41-yard, game-winning field goals
  • Despite John Feinstein's effusive claims to the contrary, Navy's defeat of the Irish hardly made one think of Al Michaels at Lake Placid

Unaltered Rankings: These rankings have benefited from some minor improvements from year-to-year, but their basic formula has remained unaltered throughout the duration of their involvement with the BCS.
 
The Anderson & Hester Rankings are distinct in four ways: 

1. These rankings do not reward teams for running up scores.  Teams are rewarded for beating quality opponents, which is the object of the game.  Margin of victory, which is not the object of the game, is not considered. 

2. Unlike the A.P. and coaches' polls, these rankings do not prejudge teams.  These rankings first appear after the season's fifth week, and each team's ranking reflects its actual accomplishments on the field, not its perceived potential. 

3. These rankings compute the most accurate strength of schedule ratings.  Each team's opponents and opponents' opponents are judged not only by their won-lost records but also, uniquely, by their conferences' strength (see #4). 

4. These rankings provide the most accurate conference ratings.  Each conference is rated according to its non-conference won-lost record and the difficulty of its non-conference schedule.
