Ok I have sat around thinking for weeks now how can the BCS improve to the point less complaining about it happens. Mind brain stormed from everything to eliminating automatic qualifiers all together to dropping automatic qualifier status for confernce champs from the Big 6 who don't finish in the Top 10. Meaning this year there would be no ACC or Big East Champion in a BCS Bowl. I think even that little step would help college football even though I know none of the commissioners would go for that.
So here is what I came up with using the final BCS poll of the season. I gave games a point value. Here it is in a nutshell
Beat a team in the Top 5 10 pts
6 - 10 9pts
11-15 8pts
16-20 7pts
21-25 6pts
26 and under 5 points
Lose to a top 5 team 4pts, 6-10 3pts, 11-20 2pts, 21 and lower 1pt. Play and FCS school 0pts.
The end results were surprising but nothing vastly different from the final BCS standings. The important thing that messed up some teams was scheduling FCS opponents that zero can be costly.
Without further ado.
Team BCS finish my poll my total points my average points
LSU 1 1 78 6.00
Bama 2 5 60 5.00
Ok St 3 2 67 5.58
Stanford 4 4 63 5.25
Oregon 5 5 63 4.84
Arky 6 7(tie) 58 4.83
Boise 7 6 59 4.91
Kan St 8 14(tie) 55 4.58
S.Car 9 16(tie) 54 4.50
Wisky 10 7(tie) 58 4.46
VaTech 11 16(tie) 54 4.15 Baylor 12 16(tie) 54 4.50 Michigan 13 14(tie) 55 4.58 OKlahoma 14 10(tie) 57 4.75 Clemson 15 10(tie) 57 4.38 UGA 16 12(tie) 56 4.30 MSU 17 7 58 4.46 TCU 18 20 52 4.33 Houston 19 12(tie) 56 4.30 Nebraska 20 21(tie) 49 4.08 So. Miss. 21 16(tie) 54 4.15 PSU 22 21(tie) 49 4.08 WVU 23 28 46 3.83 Texas 24 23(tie) 47 3.91 Auburn 25 23(tie) 47 3.91 The tie breakers that I used first is per game average which is why Stanford ended up higher than Oregon even though their total score was the same. Plus that rewarded Stanford for not scheduling a FCS opponent when Oregon did. Giving points for losses helped some teams actually get I higher ranking the one team that was most assisted by this was Auburn who had losses to the BCS 1,2,6,15, and 16 which was all their losses. They were also rewarded pretty good for having beat the BCS 9 on their field. Scheduling FCS opponents hurt Bama, Oregon, Clemson, WVU, Va Tech, Arkansas, MSU, and TCU the most but had little effect on LSU due to their wins over Oregon, Bama, and Arky who were in the top ten. My final poll looked like this 1. LSU 2. Ok St 3. Stanford 4. Oregon 5. Bama 6. Boise St 7. Arky - Higher average than Wisconson and Michigan St 8. Wisconson - Beat Michigan St in the Championship Game 9. Michigan St- Lost to Wisconson in Championship Game 10. Oklahoma - Higher average than Clemson no FCS opponents 11. Clemson - FCS opponent 13 games hurt average 12. Georgia - Tied Houston overal and by average both lost CCG so went with BCS as tiebreaker 13. Houston - see above 14. Kansas St - tiebreaker with Michigan is BCS rank 15. Michigan 16. So. Carolina - tiebreaker with Baylor BCS rank 17. Baylor 18. So. Miss - tiebreaker with Va Tech won CCG 19 VaTech 20. TCU 21. Nebraska - tiebreak with PSU was BCS rank 22. PSU 23. Texas - tiebreaker with Auburn BCS rank 24 Auburn 25. WVU So given my system. LSU would be playing Oklahoma State in the Big Game. I have a feeling this year though may be there year that the BCS really gets blown up because now a billionaire in T. Boone Pickens is pissed off cause his team got the snub. I expect a shake up of some sort next year because he has the money to make it happen which is the difference between Utah\TCU\Boise St's snubs in previous years and this year to some extent. Let the debate begin.

Do like the way you sort out the numbers. I guess the only issue would be week-to-week your rankings would jump around a lot based on what your opponents did.
