NOTE: This is a point-accumulation system using the AP writers and USAToday Coaches polls, and for the first time includes the CBSSports.com 120 poll. This is combined with five computer polls: Billingsley, Claasen, Congrove, Massey and Howell. Only polls that start at the beginning of the season and do not combine I-A with I-AA are used. Once the season starts, the TSR system kicks in using WIN, OPPONENTS and OPPONENT'S OPPONENTS points along with three SCORING categories: MARGIN, OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE scoring. The three vote-polls are weighted evenly against the computer polls. The three WIN-point categories and three SCORING categories follow in that order.

See the explanation of TSR's COMPLETE RANKINGS DEFINITION.

Final Conference Rankings Through Games of Jan. 7, 2010

The conference ranking's totals involve only the WIN-Point categories (Win, Opponent and Opponent's Opponents), the SCORING (offense, defense and margin) and points from average ranking. Totals are then divided by number of teams within the conference.

PRG=Power Rating (combines all three WIN-Point and SCORING categories); SOS=Strength of Schedule (the three WIN-Point categories only); SCORE is a Scoring Differential, which adds SCORING MARGIN with OFFENSIVE SCORING minus DEFENSIVE SCORING; AR=Average Rank. C/V is computer and vote total combined. PR=Power Rank. This is the average of all team's games against opponents in: wins, losses, the rank at the time the game was played, end rank and the overall rank.
