BCS Rankings: The first of the year

From the wonderful world of the BCS Computer we have the first “meaningful” rankings of the year. (They are “meaningful” only in that they will eventually determine who plays in the “most prestigious” bowl games.) They use, among other things, the Harris Poll and the Coaches’ Poll to come up with this thing that was supposed to make arguments about who is Number 1 obsolete. Of course, it didn’t.

1 Florida 0.989

2 Alabama 0.959

3 Texas 0.891

4 Boise State 0.808

5 Cincinnati 0.787

6 Iowa 0.787

7 Southern California 0.77

8 TCU 0.714

9 LSU 0.708

10 Miami (Fla.) 0.627

11 Oregon 0.585

12 Georgia Tech 0.57

13 Penn State 0.498

14 Virginia Tech 0.495

15 Oklahoma State 0.404

16 Brigham Young 0.299

17 Houston 0.266

18 Utah 0.251

19 Ohio State 0.222

20 Pittsburgh 0.201

21 Wisconsin 0.118

22 Arizona 0.114

23 West Virginia 0.111

24 South Carolina 0.104

25 Kansas 0.097
