One note about Sagarin: USA Today and others are using his overall rating for the BCS (which is a weighted synthesis of three ratings). I'm using Elo Score, one of those three, which was the closest to his Pure Elo used in the BCS. Prior to Pure Elo, Elo Score and may or may not have been included in his BCS standings under the name Elo Chess. I haven't seen Elo Chess or Pure Elo posted this year.
The BCS used the Harris and Coaches Poll and computers to determine the BCS standings. Each was worth one-third. A team's best and worst computer rankings were dropped. The Harris Poll isn't around, so I'm subbing in the AP poll as its replacement (which used to be a part of the BCS).
