POLL EXPLANATION & ABOUT THE BCS:To derive a team’s poll percentages in the Harris Interactive and USA Today polls, each team’s point total is divided by a maximum 2625 possible points in the Harris Inter-active Poll and 1550 possible points in the USA Today Poll. Teams are assigned a point total for each of their respective computer poll rankings to determine the overall computer component. The highest and lowest ranking for each team is dropped, and the sum total of the remaining four rankings is divided by 100 (the maximum possible points). This figure produces a Computer Rankings Percentage. The six computer ranking providers are Anderson & Hester (A&H), Richard Billingsley (B), Colley Matrix (CM), Kenneth Massey (M), Jeff Sagarin (S) and Peter Wolfe (W). Each computer ranking accounts for schedule strength within its formula. The BCS Average is calculated by averaging the percent totals of the Harris Interactive and USA Today Polls, and Computer rankings. The highest BCS Average receives the No. 1 ranking, the second highest receives No. 2, and so forth.

The BCS is a five-game arrangement for post-season college football that is managed by the 10 Bowl Subdivision conferences and Notre Dame. Its purpose is to match the two top-ranked teams in the final BCS standings in a national championship game and to create competitive matchups in the four other BCS bowl games. For more infor-mation, visit www.bcsfootball.org. The No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Dec. 8 BCS standings will play in the Vizio BCS National Championship Game Jan. 6, 2014 in Pasadena, Calif. The winner of the game will be presented the American Football Coaches Association National Championship Trophy.

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

About the BCSThe 2013-14 season

will be the 16th year for the BCS, which is a five-game arrange-ment that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive match-ups among eight other highly regarded teams in four other bowl games. It enhances the importance of the regular season and maintains the bowl system for the benefit of the game. It has been undeniably successful in achieving those goals; college football has never been more popular, and the BCS is a significant reason for that. Additionally, it has provided more access to the major bowls, more television exposure, and more postseason revenue than ever before.

The five bowl games are the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the Discover Orange Bowl, the Rose Bowl Game Presented by VIZIO, the Allstate Sugar Bowl, and the 2014 VIZIO BCS National Championship Game, which will be played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

The BCS is an event managed by the 10 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision conferences, all of them “BCS Conferences,” and the indepen-dent institutions through a series of contracts among bowls and television networks. The con-ferences are the American Athletic, Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, Sun Belt, Pacific, and Southeastern.

College Football PlayoffComing In 2014-15

Beginning with the 2014-15 season, college football will enter a new four-team playoff era. The format is simple: the best four teams, two semifinals played in bowl games and a cham-pionship game played in a different city each year. It’s the best of all worlds and the biggest innovation in the sport in decades.

BCS Automatic Qualifications 1. The top two teams in the final BCS

Standings will play in the National Championship Game.

2. The champions of the American Athletic, Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and Southeastern Conferences will have automatic berths in one of the participating bowls each year through the 2013 regular season.

3. The champion of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference or the Sun Belt Conference will earn an automatic berth in a BCS bowl game if either: a:) Such team is ranked in the top 12 of the final BCS Standings, or b:) Such team is ranked in the top 16 of the final BCS Standings and its ranking in the final BCS Standings is higher than that of a champion of a conference that has an annual automatic berth in one of the BCS bowls.

No more than one such team from Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, and the Sun Belt Conference shall earn an automatic berth in any year. (Note: A second team could be eligible for at-large selection.) If two or more teams from those conferences satisfy the provi-sions for an automatic berth, then the team with the highest finish in the final BCS Standings will receive the automatic berth, and the remaining team or teams will be in the pool of teams eligible for selection by the bowls as at-large teams.

4. Notre Dame will have an automatic berth if it is in the top eight of the final BCS Standings.

5. If any of the 10 slots remain open after application of provisions 1 through 4, and an at-large team from a conference with an annual automatic berth for its champion is ranked No. 3 in the final BCS Standings, that team will become an automatic qualifi-er, provided that no at-large team from the same conference qualifies for the National Championship Game.

6. If any of the 10 slots remain open after application of provisions 1 through 5, and if no team qualifies under paragraph No. 5 and an at-large team from a conference with an annual automatic berth for its champion is ranked No. 4 in the final BCS Standings, that team will become an auto-matic qualifier, provided that no at-large team from the same conference qualifies for the NCG.

Pool of Eligible Teams

If berths are available after the automatic qualifiers have been identified, then the bowls shall select at-large participants from the “pool of eligible teams,” which shall include any Bowl Subdivision team that is bowl-eligible and meets the following requirements:

A. Has won at least nine regular-season games, and

B. Is among the top 14 teams in the final BCS Standings

AMERICAN BOWL LINEUP

The LineupIn addition to the Bowl Championship Series, the American Athletic

Conference also has agreements with a number of other postseason bowl games. The conference’s current lineup, which began in the 2010 season, has The American paired against three of the other five automat-ic-qualifying Bowl Championship Series conferences in the postseason.

The American is in the final year of a four-year agreement with Florida Citrus Sports and the Russell Athletic Bowl to send a team to the Orlando, Fla., game.

The Russell Athletic Bowl will have the first selection from The American after the league’s BCS representative has been determined. The American Athletic Conference’s opponent in the Russell Athletic Bowl will be from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The American extended its agreement with the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C., through the 2013 season as well. The Belk Bowl will have the American’s third selection, after the BCS and Russell Athletic Bowl.

The conference has been aligned with the Belk Bowl since the incep-tion of the game in 2002. The game has averaged more than 62,000 fans and was named one of the five best startups in sports in the previous five years by Sports Business Journal.

The 2010 season featured the introduction of a new bowl game in New York City when the New Era Pinstripe Bowl was played at Yankee Stadium. The New Era Pinstripe Bowl pits the fourth overall selection from The American against a team from the Big 12 Conference. In the event that the Big 12 is unable to supply a team for the game, Notre Dame could step in as the opponent of The American’s representative.

The American also has longstanding deals with the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., and the Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl in St. Petersburg, Fla. The conference additionally has an agreement with the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn. The American will send teams to two of those three games in the 2013 season.

The BBVA Compass Bowl pairs an American Athletic Conference team against an opponent from the Southeastern Conference at Legion Field in Birmingham.

If an American team is chosen for the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, the con-ference’s representative would face either the Conference USA cham-pion or an opponent from the Southeastern Conference.

The Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl will be played for the fifth time in 2013. The American representative will face a Conference USA opponent at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.
