Jeff Sagarin' College Football Ratings

Jeff Sagarin
Rates all DI teams, both IA and IAA. The BCS will not be using the ratings Sagarin is famous for, but rather a rating system he calls "Elo Chess," which does not include MOV. Presumably, he named it "Elo Chess" because it is based on the rating system used for chess players developed by Arpad Elo. Home field advantage is considered.

The Anderson & Hester College Football Computer Rankings

Jeff Anderson-Chris Hester
Rates D1A teams only. Factors in conference strength, which is based on how conference teams do in non-conference play. It also appears to give weight to how a team performs against better opposition. Does not consider game location. Does not publish until after 5th week.

Billingsley Report on Major College Football

Richard Billingsley
Rates D1A teams only. Carries a team's rank over from previous year and values early part of season more highly. Also gives slight emphasis to recent performance. If a team does not play, its raw rating (as opposed to ranking) does not change that week. If a team wins, it goes up and if it loses, it goes down. Has a detailed explanation on his site, although he does not provide his formula.

"Colley's Bias Free Matrix Rankings"

Wes Colley
Rates D1A teams only, plus provisional 1A teams (like Troy St in 2001). His ratings only consider games between I-A opponents. Publishes his formula on his website, but you need to be a math geek to understand it. Publishes ratings at the beginning of the season, but uses no prior season data. Everyone starts at 0.5.

for those not up on the BCS, here is an explanation of the formula (from collegebcs.com)

What is the formula?
The BCS formula has been changed again. The 2004 version takes three basic factors:

Point total in the AP poll.
Point total in the coaches' poll.
Ranking in the six selected computer ranking systems, after throwing out the best and worst ranking for each team.
In the polls, a team's score is its point total divided by the best possible point total for that poll. In 2003, there were 65 AP voters and 63 coaches voting, which meant that the best possible score for the AP poll was 1625 (65 voters x 25 points for a first place vote) and in the coaches' poll, the best possible score was 1575.

The four computers for each team will be treated like voters in a mini-poll. That means, the team ranked #1 in a computer ranking will get 25 points. The #2 team will receive 24, and so on, down to the #25 team in a computer getting one point. Each team's four computer scores (after tossing the best and worst) will be added and divided by 100 (the best possible score) to give the computer average.

The, the three numbers will be averaged for the total BCS score, highest being better.

Here is an example of how to calculate the BCS ratings, using Miami-Ohio's final regular season total from 2003:

In the AP poll, the Redhawks had 756 points. That was good enough for the #14 ranking, but that doesn't matter. Their score for the AP poll part of the formula is 756/1625 or .4652.
In the coaches' poll, Miami had 664 points, which is then divided by 1575 to give a score of .4216.
Miami had computer rankings of 3, 4, 4, 6, 9 and 10. When you throw out the best and the worst, you are left with 4, 4, 6 and 9. Those rankings are worth 22, 22, 20 and 17 points respectively in the mini-poll, which adds up to 81 points. That is then divided by 100 for a total of .81.
The Redhawks final BCS score then is the average of those three numbers, or (.4652 + .4216 + .81) / 3 = .5656.

(also note that some ranking data in this thread is from collegebcs.com as well as the various computer rankings websites.)

has anyone seen that Tennessee is #1 in the RPI rankings. The same system used by NCAA basketball. I know it doesn't matter here, but I thought it was Cool.

lol, that's a pretty good one... But Tennessee is far from being a championship team... But I am highly doubtful of anything beyond making it to the SEC championship game, and maybe reciprocating to Auburn.
