POLL EXPLANATION & ABOUT THE BCS: To derive a team’s poll percentages in the Harris Interactive and USA Today polls, each team’s point total is divided by a maximum 2825 possible points in the Harris Interactive Poll and 1475 possible points in the USA Today Poll. Teams are assigned an inverse point total (25 for No. 1, 24 for No. 2, etc.) for each of their respective computer poll rankings to determine the overall computer component. The highest and lowest ranking for each team is dropped, and the sum total of the remaining four rankings is divided by 100 (the maximum possible points). This figure produces a Computer Rankings Percentage. The six computer ranking providers are Anderson & Hester (A&H), Richard Billingsley (B), Colley Matrix (CM), Kenneth Massey (M), Jeff Sagarin (S) and Peter Wolfe (W). Each computer ranking accounts for schedule strength within its formula. The BCS Average is calculated by averaging the percent totals of the Harris Interactive and USA Today Polls, and Computer rankings. The highest BCS Average receives the No. 1 ranking, the second highest receives No. 2, and so forth.

The BCS is a five-game arrangement for post-season college football that is managed by the 11 Bowl Subdivision conferences and Notre Dame. Its purpose is to match the two top-ranked teams in the final BCS standings in a national championship game and to create competitive match-ups in the four other BCS bowl games. For more information, visit www.bcsfootball.org. The No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Dec. 6 BCS standings will play in the BCS National Championship Game presented by Citi Jan. 7, 2010 in Pasadena, Calif. The winner of the game will be presented the American Football Coaches Associa- tion National Championship Trophy. statistical rankings NATIONAL HONORS

In addition to the Bowl Championship Series, the BIG EAST Conference also has agreements with a number of other postseason bowl games. The BIG EAST and Big 12 Conferences — along with Notre Dame — forged a bowl partnership beginning in 2006 and ending with the 2009 season. This agreement assured both BCS Conferences’ and Notre Dame’s participation in the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl and Brut Sun Bowl over a four-year period. The Konica Minolta Gator Bowl or Brut Sun Bowl chooses a BIG EAST team after the league’s representative to the Bowl Championship Series has been determined. The Atlantic Coast Conference provides the opposition in the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl and the Pac-10 Conference participates in the Brut Sun Bowl. The Gator Bowl has the first selection at the conclusion of each season and will select a BIG EAST team or Notre Dame in 2009. The Meineke Car Care Bowl is now in its sixth year with the BIG EAST Confer- ence. The Meineke Car Care Bowl, which is played in Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., picks after the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl or Brut Sun Bowl. The BIG EAST aligned itself with two additional bowls beginning in the 2006 season. The International Bowl, played at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, pairs the BIG EAST representative against an opponent from the Mid-America Confer- ence, while the PapaJohns.com Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., matches the BIG EAST selection against a school from the Southeastern Conference. The St. Petersburg Bowl at Tropicana Field will put the BIG EAST’s representative against a team from Conference USA.
