EXPLANATION:
Poll Average - Average of USA Today/ESPN Coaches and AP Media Polls. Others receiving votes calculated in order received.
Computer Average - Average of Anderson & Hester, Atlanta Journal-Constitution Colley Matrix, Richard Billinglsey, Kenneth Massey, David Rothman, Jeff Sagarin's USA Today, Matthews/Scripps-Howard, and the Peter Wolfe rankings. The computer rankings will be determined by averaging six rankings. The highest and the lowest 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 (66.6 percent) and the cumulative won/loss records of the teams' opponents opponents (33.3 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 15 in the weekly standings. The bonus point scale will range from a high of 1.5 for a win over the top-ranked team to a low of 0.1 for a victory over the 15th-ranked BCS team. The final BCS standings 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. Quiality win points are deducted from the team score.
