I grade teams on a scale to 1,000.  400 comes from performance of teams, 200 comes from record, 100 comes from strength of schedule, 100 comes from quality wins, 100 comes from conference strength, and 100 points are ones that every team gets, and points that good teams in weak conferences have so they can be in the Top 25 if they are good.

The numbers in parentheses and italics are last week's rankings.  The numbers that have decimals and are in parentheses are their percentages based on my scale, and LW is last week's results.

After the most recent BCS rankings, I was very upset.  What happened was just wrong.  For all those people who say that I would rank PSU ahead because I'm a homer, I would not.  If Texas Tech wins out, they will be No. 1.  However, they don't jump all the way up to one after one win.

Here are my BCS rankings for Week 10.

1) Penn State (1 ), (.998) LW-Idle.

2) Texas Tech (4 ), (.996) LW-W 39-33 vs. Texas

3) Alabama (3 ), (.995) LW-W 35-0 vs. Arkansas State

10) Boise State (13 ), (.973) LW-W 49-0 at New Mexico State

11) Michigan State (10 ), (.970) LW-W 25-24 vs. Wisconsin
