BCS Rankings

September 6, 2011 by · Comments Off on BCS Rankings 

BCS RankingsBCS Rankings, In a typical week of college football, the classification of new out on Sunday afternoon (or Sunday night when the BCS began to be tabulated). Weeks were not normal, however. With the games taking place on Sunday and also being a Monday, every poll decided to wait until Tuesday morning to launch its new classification.

When the new polls come out at last, will be interesting to see where you end up Big Ten teams. Wisconsin is expected to jump soon after the opening of a solid game, and Nebraska could see up some points as well. Michigan State may fall due to a sloppy effort against Youngstown State, Ohio, while the state could enter the low teens after a 42-0 victory over Akron on Saturday.

Penn State is located just in the preseason USA Today Poll, and we could see the Nittany Lions to be beaten by a few points. At least that can be attached at the end of the top 25 of the size of Iowa and northwest.

It’s a safe bet that Michigan will remain unranked, and is also a safe bet that Notre Dame will be reduced from 16 in the AP poll. This could create a game this weekend between two teams ranked no. If the last couple of years are any indication, the winner could come back at 25, even if neither team is ranked for the game.

Bcs Bowls

Bcs Bowls:The announcement of the matchups has been made, and they are the same as below.

The announcements don’t come until later tonight when we have to endure Fox’s coverage for unveiling the B.C.S. bowls for the final time. But after talking to numerous sources around college football today, I’ve come up with a bowl lineup.

It includes the matchup that will generate the biggest buzz of the bowl season outside the national title game, a matchup of undefeated T.C.U. and Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. It’s a shocking pick in many regards, as bowl games featuring non-B.C.S. teams rate historically low. The two teams also played last year in the Poinsettia Bowl, drawing a 3.7 rating. There were 14 bowl games rated higher. (T.C.U. won, 34,628 people attended. I watched and rather enjoyed it.)

It appears there will be two ratings clunkers, as T.C.U. and Boise have small fan bases and no tradition of rating well. Georgia Tech and Iowa isn’t exactly a scintillating matchup for TV either.

Here are the B.C.S. games. We’ll have a full lineup later when all this mess is sorted out.
