BCS question
Does the quality win component still exist in the BCS? I can't find anything about it anywhere. I know it was used before. If it is, that should help PSU and Texas right now, since we are in the top ten of the BCS.

I think they took it out the year after we won the NC.

no, quality win, SOS, and losses have all been removed as distinct components of the BCS. However, all of those measures are factored into the computer polls (and considered by human voters)

QW left after the 2003/04 season and the split NC between LSU/USC.

Stupid me, of course they wouldn't have made any BCS changes the only year that the BCS worked. Damn you VaTech for losing and saving the BCS from getting totally screwed this season. I was hoping for 4 undefeated teams.

It's 1/3 USA-TodayCoaches Poll, 1/3 Harris poll, 1/3 average of six computer polls, throwing out the highest and lowest computer ranking for each team. Here are the details for 2005:
The BCS Rankings:
The BCS Standings determine which teams play in the National Championship game, and which are included in the pool of eligible teams available for at-large selection. This year, the BCS Standings will
include three components: the rankings of the Harris Poll, the USA Today Coaches poll and a computer poll average. Each component will count one-third of a team’s overall BCS score in the BCS Standings.
In the Harris Poll and USA Today polls, the formula will no longer average the weekly rank of each team. Instead a team will be evaluated on the number of voting points it receives in each poll. A team’s Harris score will be its points in the poll divided by its total possible voting points. The same formula will apply to the USA Today poll and its total voting points. The number of actual voters, which can vary and has varied in the past, is figured into the computation on a weekly basis in stating each team’s percentage of a possible perfect score.
Six computer rankings will be used for 2005: Jeff Sagarin, whose rankings are published in USA Today, Anderson & Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth Massey and Dr. Peter Wolfe. A team’s highest and lowest computer ranking will be discarded from figuring a team’s computer poll average. Points will be assigned in inverse order of ranking from 1-25. The four remaining computer scores will be averaged and the total will be calculated as a percentage of 100. All three components shall be added together and averaged for a team’s ranking in the BCS Standings. The team with the highest average shall rank first in the BCS Standings.
