Top 25 Programs of the BCS Era

[Texas Jefe]

pure fantasy about Colt v Bama, but I understand why you need it. Mack Daddy's years have taken it's toll on your poor soul...

but hey, you always have your love for Chris to fall back on, eh?

yeah, our soul's were troubled a few times in the last 16 years, but we had one year that was magical. Kind of year I thought I'd never see again.

But now, you know you OU guise are a little uneasy, because our new coach is going to give us a completely different kind of edge. He just may awaken (or bring us for the first time, depending on your perspective) a monster.

Did you really post this #@$%!

I thought we were discussing the "BCS era" but then you select one season, the 2009 season, to show how bad UF scheduling is and you still screw it up. ND was NOT a top 25 team in 2009. Massey (the BCS computer guy) compiles over 100 ranking systems and publishes them. Here is his compilation for the year 2009. College Football Ranking Comparison It shows ND with an average ranking of #51 (far from the top 25).

Next, yes in 2009 UF played Troy, FIU and (FCS) Charleston Southern in OOC games. They also played FSU OOC. USC played tOSU, ND and San Jose St (which you omitted). The Massey composite has these teams as FSU (#39), Troy (#53), FIU(#107) and Charleston Southern (???) as they are FCS. The composite has tOSU(#6), ND (#51) and San Jose State (#113). So, Troy was about as good as ND that year, tOSU was better than FSU, and FIU was about as bad as San Jose State. The Charleston Southern game was an EXTRA game for UF. So far USC schedule is better than UF's. However, unless you are going to pull the BSU card and say that all that matters is the OOC schedule then we need to look at the entire schedule in 2009.

Omitting Bowl games and using the Massey composite numbers here are the schedules

UF played #1 Alabama ; USC played #6 tOSU
UF played #14 LSU ; USC played #9 Oregon
UF played #21 Arkansas; USC played #28 Stanford
UF played #27 Georgia ; USC played #30 Oregon St
UF played #37 Tennessee ; USC played #33 Arizona
UF played #39 FSU ; USC played #41 Cal
UF played #42 S. Carolina ; USC played #49 UCLA
UF played #48 Kentucky ; USC played #51 ND
UF played #50 Miss St ; USC played #55 Wash
UF played #53 Troy ; USC played #72 Arizona St
UF played #98 Vandy ; USC played #110 Wash St
UF played #107 FIU ; USC played #113 San Jose St
UF played #??? Charleston So. ; USC played no one

Now, all can see that looking at the ENTIRE schedule UF's was tougher than USC.
In addition, YOU cherry picked 2009. The 2 AP Ranked opponents and one AP top 10 opponent played by UF is the FEWEST that UF has played since 1989 (25 years).
So, UF's worst schedule in the past 25 season was STILL tougher than USC's!!!!

So, let's look at USC's and UF's NON-BOWL schedules over the BCS era.

Yes, UF has played NINE FCS teams!
1998 Citadel, 2003 Florida A&M, 2006 Western Caro., 2008 Citadel, 2009 Charleston So., 2010 Appalachian St., 2011 Furman, 2012 Jacksonville St., 2013 Ga. Southern.
USC has played ZERO.

BUT,

First the positives...
How many BCS/Major opponents with winning records?College Football Trivia
USC: Home 46, Away 42, Neutral 2, Total 90
UF: Home 43, Away 42, Neutral 15, Total 100

How many NON-BCS/Major (FBS only) opponents with winning records?College Football Trivia
USC: Home 6, Away 2, Neutral 0, Total 8
UF: Home 13, Away 0, Neutral 0, Total 13

How many AP Top 25 opponents?College Football Trivia
USC: Home 22, Away 24, Neutral 1, Total 47
UF: Home 28, Away 28 Neutral 13, Total 69
This total DOES NOT include the 5 AP Top 25 ranked teams UF played in CCG’s.

How many AP Top10 opponents?College Football Trivia
USC: Home 9, Away 11, Neutral 1, Total 21
UF: Home 10, Away 17 Neutral 6, Total 33
This total DOES NOT include the 3 AP Top 10 ranked teams UF played in CCG’s.

Now, for the negatives...
How many BCS/Major opponents WITHOUT winning records? College Football Trivia
USC: Home 41, Away 43, Neutral 1, Total 85
UF: Home 24, Away 24, Neutral 1, Total 49

How many NON- BCS/Major opponents WITHOUT winning records?College Football Trivia
USC: Home 7, Away 3, Neutral 0, Total 10
UF: Home 15, Away 0, Neutral 0, Total 15

How many TOTAL FBS opponents WITHOUT winning records?
USC: Home 48, Away 46, Neutral 1, Total 95
UF: Home 39, Away 24, Neutral 10, Total 64

Finally,
How many FCS opponent?
USC: Home 0, Away 0, Neutral 0, Total 0
UF: Home 9, Away 0, Neutral 0, Total 9

Folks like you are SOOOO blinded by the fact that UF dares to play FCS teams that you can’t see beyond the end of you nose. IF we decided that UF be penalized ONE AP Top 10 opponent for every FCS team they played, UF’s schedule would STILL BE BETTER than USC’s!!!!

How many AP Top10 opponents?
USC: Total 21
UF: Total 33 - 9 = 24 (still 3 more than USC)
This total DOES NOT include the 3 AP Top 10 ranked teams UF played in CCG’s.

How many AP Top 25 opponents?
USC: Total 47
UF: Total 69 - 9 = 60 (still 13 more than USC)
This total DOES NOT include the 5 AP Top 25 ranked teams UF played in CCG’s.

How many BCS/Major opponents with winning records?
USC: Total 90
UF: Total 100 - 9 = 91 (still one more than USC)

AND you can't escape the facts
How many TOTAL FBS opponents WITHOUT winning records?
USC: Home 48, Away 46, Neutral 1, Total 95 This is 31 more lousy games than UF played!!!
UF: Home 39, Away 24, Neutral10, Total 64

Just because USC traveled to play lousy teams DOESN'T make them GOOD games.

Hilarius. You trying to justify Florida scheduling "Troy and Southern Charlston school for the blind" or similar schools and ALWAYS at home when USC's OCC schedule had games at Ohio State at Notre dame at Auburn at at Arkansas at Virgina at Boston College. tell me . what are the odds that you might have to actually play a good team if you schedule those cupcakes and ONLY play them at home . Probably not as good as if you schedule like USC. So sorry not impressed if you beat a team who beat Furman and Lamar to get their "winning record" LOL

“Ranking college football teams and recording data on Excel spreadsheets to determine unique trends and facts has always interested me,” Kellner wrote in a paper that was published by The College Football Historian, a newsletter produced by the Intercollegiate Football Researchers Association. “I have been posting the results of my college football ratings system online at Cody Kellner Points Index - Home since 2002 and I have always been fascinated with the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and the various polls it included. My interests in tabulating statistics and the BCS is what prompted me to expand on what has been shown in the BCS media guide over the years regarding the weekly BCS standings dating back to 1998.

“Last spring, as college football prepared to enter the last year of the BCS, I decided to produce a comprehensive database of the weekly BCS standings for each school dating back to 1998 and maybe identify some interesting facts along the way.”

So here’s what Kellner tabulated

1. How many times each school has been ranked in the BCS standings;

2. How many different schools appeared in the BCS standings;

3. The best BCS ranking for each school;

4. The number of times each school has been ranked No. 1;

5. The all-time BCS standings using inverse point totals;

6. The number of times each school has held each BCS ranking.”

And here’s what he found.

The three teams with the most appearances in the weekly BCS standings are Texas (104), OU (100), and Florida (92).

Ninety-one schools appeared in the BCS standings from 1998-2013.

Seventeen schools have held the No. 1 ranking in the BCS standings. Only six of these teams did not win a national championship (UCLA, Kansas State, Nebraska, Oregon, Notre Dame and Missouri).

The four schools with the most No. 1 appearances in the weekly BCS standings are OU (20), Alabama (16), Ohio State (15), and USC (15).

Florida State is the only school to have held all 25 possible rankings in the BCS standings at some point in time. West Virginia held every possible BCS ranking with the exception of No. 1. OU held every possible ranking with the exception of No. 21 and Texas held every possible ranking with the exception of No. 8.

The most times for a school to hold a particular ranking in the BCS standings is Oklahoma’s claim to the No. 1 ranking 20 times. The second most is Alabama at No. 2 and Florida at No 4. both 17 times.

The all-time weekly BCS standings using inverse point totals are:

1. Oklahoma (20) 1,821

2. Ohio State (15) 1,626

3. Texas (3) 1,611

4. Florida (7) 1,596

5. LSU (10) 1,503

6. Oregon (1,462)

7. Alabama (16) 1,369

8. Southern (15) 1,338

9. Florida State (9) 1,285

10. Virginia Tech 1,201

11. Georgia 1,138

12. Miami (7) 1,130

13. Michigan 1,026

14. Nebraska 946

15. Boise State 937

16. Wisconsin 876

17. Kansas State (1) 8476

18. Tennessee (5) 836

19. Auburn (3) 817

20. Notre Dame (3) 780

21. TCU 732

22. Penn State 723

23. Stanford 721

24. Oklahoma State 680

25. West Virginia 544

So that’s a good list. OU ranks No. 1 over the last 16 years.
