Explanation Key

Poll Average -- The average of The Associated Press media poll and coaches poll. Others receiving votes are calculated in order received.

Computer Average -- The average of The Hester & Anderson/Seattle Times, Jeff Sagarin's rankings and New York Times rankings. In order to prevent differences in individual formulas, a maximum adjusted deviation of no greater than 50 percent of the average of the two lowest computer rankings is utilized.

Quartile Rank -- Rank of schedule strength compared to other Division I-A teams divided by 25. This component is calculated by determining the cumulative won-loss records of the team's opponent (66.6 percent) and the cumulative won-loss records of the team's opponents' opponents (33.3 percent).

Losses -- One point for each loss during the season.

Notes -- BCS rankings each week will list the top 15 or down to the lowest-ranked BCS-affiliated conference leader. Adjusted computer scores in parentheses (Sagarin's raw scores: Tennessee 4, Texas A&M 10, Notre Dame 36; New York Times' raw scores: Oregon 13, Tulane 98)
