The
BCS Poll uses a SOS or Strength Of Schedule Rating in its formula which
has caused some confusion amongst many fans. Here is a detailed, but yet
simple breakdown of the 1999 National Champion Florida State ranking for
those junkies who really are in the need to know. At the bottom of the page
you will find an extra example as well. Here is a menu for ease of navigation: |

STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE AS EXPLAINED
BY THE BCS ORGANIZATION
The third component will be the
team's strength of schedule. This component is calculated by determining
the cumulative won/loss records of the team's opponents
and the cumulative won/loss records of
the teams' opponents' opponents. The formula
shall be weighted two-third (66 2/3%) for the opponent's record and one-third
(33 1/3%) for the opponents' opponents record. The team's schedule strength
shall be calculated to determine in which quartile
it will rank: 1-25, 26-50; 51-75; 76-100 and shall be further quantified
by its ranking within each quartile (divided by 25). For example, if a
team's schedule strength rating is 28th in the nation, that team would
receive 1.12 points (28/25 = 1.12). Should a team play a Division I-AA
opponent, only the losses of the Division I-AA team shall be used in determining
the opponent's record or the opponent's opponents' record.
