Links to the post-season SoS, conference rankings, and pseudo-BCS rankings have been removed from the index page of BCS Central.  However, the pages are still around – use the new links in the previous sentence to access these pages.

Information on each and every FBS team, during any season of the BCS era (from 1998 onwards) is now available on this new page, which is now linked from the history page.  The data includes win-loss records and points for & against in: all games, conference games, BCS out-of-conference games, and games against FCS teams. Also, if applicable, information will be displayed about a conference championship game, final BCS ranking, and a BCS bowl.

The BCS Central database project is not finished.  There will be more information available, and additional ways to access the database.

The table is based on the pre-season Coaches poll – road games are in red and OOC games are in bold.

It is here, and the first-place votes page has been updated for the 2010 season.  Oklahoma made the biggest upward move from 2009, as it now ranked #8, but did not place in the final 2009 poll.  Conversely, Cincinnati was #9 at the end of last season and fell out of the top 25 pre-season (but just to #26).

Not surprisingly, all of the top 10 teams in MoV in BCS OOC games are AQ teams, while none of those with the largest average margin of losses are.    However, Louisville was formerly not an automatic qualifier, and Temple was – in fact, Temple is the only team to have moved from AQ to non-AQ status in the BCS era.

Several new records, dealing with rushing and passing yardage totals in BCS bowl games,  have been added to the relevant BCS Central page.  These new items were made possible because work has begun on building and populating a BCS Central database, which is by far the largest project in this site’s history.
