This poll is one of two polls created to give coaches an ability to directly impact their BCS ranking. This poll is set up to reward teams for victories over conference opponents and penalize them for losses against non-conference opponents. The great thing about this poll is that it places a lot of emphasis on conference match-ups. If you win your conference, beat the good teams in your conference, and do well against non-conference opponents, you will most likely be ranked in the top 3 of the BCS!
The formula is Wins + (W/L% X Wins) + (Conference W/L% X Conference Wins) + (Total wins of the conference opponents you defeated X .01) - (reversed non-conference W/L% X non-conference losses).
BCS % is based on a comparison of where a team's score falls between the min to max CPOW scores of all teams.
If teams are tied because they have the same power score, a head to head tiebreaker is applied as follows:
1) If two teams have the same amount of power points and they played each other, then the team that won will be ranked ahead of the team that lost.
2) If more than two teams have the same amount of power points but only two played each other, then the team that won will be ranked ahead of the team that lost, but will still inititally be ranked equal to the other team (before proceeding to the next tiebreaker). The team that lost the H2H match-up will be ranked only one spot below the other two teams.
3) If two or more teams have the same amount of power points and they did not play each other, the teams with more wins will be ranked higher than the other teams.
4) Additonal tie breakers are conference W/L%, then non-conference W/L%, and then non-conference W/L% vs. common non-conference opponents.
