[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Where are they? I can't find them.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Seriously. I went to espn.com and clicked on rankings and they aren't there. Don't beat me up for being a technology dinosaur.

Last one for the season is after the conference champ games and final games of regular season. There isn't an additonal one after the bowls.

The BCS doesn't publish a final poll.
Their job is to determine #1 and #2 at the end of the season for the purpose of matching them up in the Championship game.
Since their job is then complete, they do not publish a post-bowl poll.

K. See I told you I was a dinosaur.

hehehe.. people people people!!!!!

The point of the "BCS" is to get #1 and #2 to play each other. That is all. #3 through whatever don't guarantee you any BCS bowl. But there are obviously are automatics, see Uconn this year. Although, TCU got into the Rose Bowl because the rule stated since the pac10 lost Oregon, they had to take the first "qualified" non-aq. So TCU was a qualified non-qualified pick. heh.

All the BCS job to do is get 1 vs 2. No, the BCS is not only a computer. It consist of 2/3 humans. (1/3 coaches aka USA Today Poll, 1/3 Harris. the other 1/3 is computers.

just like the NBA Lottery Draft. It's only job is to get picks 1-3, the rest in is order of record left. So yes a 9 seed could get 1st pick, but rare.

TCU had to be BCS top 12 to be qualified, or something like that. Also, Stanford was an *automatic* at-large pick by finishing top 4. So the BCS rating did play into those 2 at large picks, but still no reason for a post-bowl ranking.

Top 4 are guaranteed a spot, if you are a non-aq and in the top 8 or 12 you are guaranteed a spot


Problem is, the BCS doesnt get the undisputed #1 and #2 in most years

If you ask the fans of the #1 and #2 team, they do. Okay, some of the pedantic fans of the #2 team will insist they should have been #1...

Sure they do. Ask anyone who was ranked #1 and #2 in the BCS polls and they will say Oregon and Auburn. There is no dispute.

[Collier11]

Leroy, we know your act, for once quit bein such a jack hole about everything

I love how when the polls and the BCS have different rankings, it's always the BCS that is wrong, never the humans. :rolleyes:

This. I'm a BCS fan.

[JLEW1818]

I'm happy with what we have.

[Collier11]

Because we all know that playing it out on the field is the worst possible way to do things

The humans who vote are mostly idiots too. I'll give you that.

Settling it on a field. in a playoff system, would hopefully reduce the widespread idiocy. But maybe not.

The highest ranking team of the non-AQ conferences will receive an AQ bid if they are ranked in the top 12 of the final BCS poll or ranked in the top 16 and higher than a champion of an AQ conference.
