Final Regular Season Rankings

Alrighty, here we go. The Top 5 are LSU, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Oklahoma, & Ohio State. Not too bad, if I do say so myself. It's not the Ohio State vs LSU matchup that the BCS came up with, but I don't claim that my rankings are BCS predictive. As for my claim that my rankings will find the top 2 popular consensus teams that should've been matched up, well, that one's a bit trickier. It's not like other years where people thought that the BCS got the top two teams wrong and knew who should be in the championship game instead. People are just confused about the BCS this year, which is understandable. We'll have to wait until after the bowls to sort things out.

Remember, these rankings are achievement based, as we can see comparing #1 LSU & #3 Georgia. The Tigers played and won an extra game (the SEC Championship), which is basically what accounts for the 48 point difference in their totals. Strength of Schedule is also a factor, as you can see with #5 Ohio State & #6 Hawaii. Ohio State basically played a bunch of .500 teams, while Hawaii played teams which were really bad, probably averaging out at 4-8 or 3-9. The SEC schools on the other hand played tough schedules, adding to their point totals. It's of note though that LSU's 460.13 points is the lowest point total for a #1 at the end of the regular season in the 10 years of the BCS.
