EXPLANATION:
Poll Average - Average of the AP Media Poll
and USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll. Others receiving votes calculated
in order received.
Computer Average - Average of Anderson &
Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth Massey, New
York Times, Jeff Sagarin‚s USA Today, and the Peter Wolfe rankings.
The computer component will be determined by averaging six of the
seven rankings. The lowest (worst) computer ranking will be disregarded.
Schedule Rank - Rank of schedule strength compared
to other Division I-A teams of actual games played divided by 25.
This component is calculated by determining the cumulative won/loss
records of the team‚s opponent (66 2/3 percent) and the cumulative
won/loss records of the team‚s opponents‚ opponents (33
1/3 percent).
Losses - One point for each loss during the
season.
Quality Win Component - The quality win component
will reward to varying degrees teams that defeat opponents ranked
among the top 10 in the weekly standings. The bonus point scale
will range from a high of 1.0 points for a win over the top ranked
team to a low of 0.1 for a victory over the 10th-ranked BCS team.
The BCS Standings at the end of the season will determine final
quality win points. If a team registers a victory over a team more
than once during the regular season, quality points will be awarded
just once. Quality win points are based on the standings determined
by the subtotal. The final standings are reconfigured to reflect
the quality win point deduction.
Notes:
1. Teams on NCAA probation (i.e. not eligible for postseason competition)
are not listed in the BCS Standings. Teams with victories over teams
on probation will receive appropriate quality win points.
2. The Nokia Sugar Bowl on January 4, 2004,
will host the BCS National Championship Game and determine which
team will be presented The National Football Foundation and College
Hall of Fame‚s MacArthur Trophy, awarded to college football‚s
National Champion since 1959, as well as the ADT National Championship
Trophy on behalf of the American Football Coaches Association.
