To derive the three percentages, each team is assigned an inverse point total (25 for No. 1, 24 for No. 2, etc.) The two poll percentages are calculated by dividing each team’s point total by a maximum 2850 possible points (Harris) and 1475 possible points (USA Today). The computer rankings percentage is calculated by dropping the highest and lowest ranking for each team and then dividing the remaining total by 100 (the maximum possible points). The BCS Average is calculated by averaging the percentage totals of the Harris Interactive Poll, USA Today Poll, and computer rankings. The teams’ BCS Averages are ranked to produce the BCS Standings. The six computer ranking providers are Anderson & Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth Massey, Jeff Sagarin and Peter Wolfe. Each computer ranking provider accounts for schedule strength within its formula. The BCS is a five-game arrangement for post-season college football that is managed by the 11 Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) conferences and institutions. Its purpose is to match the top two teams a bowl game and to create exciting matchups in four other games. The No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Dec. 6 BCS standings will play in the Citi BCS National Championship on Jan. 7, 2010 in Pasadena, Calif. The winner of the game will be presented the Coaches Trophy, emblematic of the national championship. For more information, visit www.bcsfootball.org.

los ANGELES – In a benefit charity bowl aiding the Under Privileged Children’s Milk Fund of Los Angeles, the Bulldogs spent Christmas day battling through a game filed with deadlocked scores, intricate passing and a strong running game. Before 5,000 roaring fans in Gilmore Stadium, Los Angeles, the Fresno State College Bulldogs clinched a last second 27-26 victory over the Arkansas State College Teachers (ASU Bears) from Conway Arkansas. Fresno State jumped out with an early 7-0 lead in the first period starting from the 47-yard line and scoring with an acrobatic catch by Toby Heeb from quarterback Ken Gleason. ASU answered, ending the first half 7-7. The final half of the game started with a quick seven for ASU as Montgomery crossed into the endzone standing up after a nearly 35-yard drive. Down by seven, the Bulldogs took the ball at the 17-yard line beginning an offensive attack that resulted in a seven point boost with a touchdown from Granville Holbrook and an extra point from Ray Sturgill. Tied at 14-14 the fourth quarter opened with a 35-yard punt return placing the ball on Fresno’s 41. The offense did not stop there as the Bulldogs ran the ball 59 yards to score. The extra point went wide putting Fresno State up 20-14. The Bears yet again retaliated tying the game 20-20 with a 65-yard drive and an endzone trip by Turner. The extra point edged ASU once again on par with the Bulldogs. Fresno State found their way on top scoring their fourth touchdown by Holbrook on a 33-yard run and successfully placing the extra point. Arkansas State would not give up as the game minutes were diminishing. Returning the kickoff, Bears’ Montgomery faked a pass to teammate Burnett and ran an 85-yard touchdown. Threatening to tie the game, the Bulldogs’ Frank McClurg blocked the kick securing a one-point Fresno State lead that would determine the Bulldogs’ first-ever bowl game victory.

HONOLULU – The Bulldogs traveled to Honolulu to play before 22,000 wind- blown and rowdy spectators in the Pineapple Bowl. Matching up against the Hawai’i Rainbows, the Bulldogs found the needed three-point difference early in the fourth quarter to seal the Fresno State victory. The ‘Dogs produced the three-point game spread off a Dale Mickelwait 18-yard field goal held by Lloyd Leest. The Pineapple Bowl game-winner marked the second time Micklewait booted the Bulldogs to victory this season. He secured the extra point conversion against Nevada to push the Bulldogs to a 7-6 triumph. The 3-0 score is a misleading summary of the game considering both teams had several empty scoring attempts and the Bulldogs and Rainbows gained at least 200 yards apiece. Both teams found themselves with penalty problems - Hawai’i lost 40 yards and the Bulldogs dropped 55, but fumble action was fairly clean as Hawai’i created the game’s one and only loose ball. Hawai’i held the Bulldogs twice within their five-yard line before Fresno State broke the three-quarter scoreless streak.

FRESNO, Calif. – Ratcliff Stadium and the Fresno State Bulldogs played host to 10,000 fans and the Drake Bulldogs for the first-ever Raisin Bowl. Fresno State led for most of the game entering the fourth quarter with a 12-6 spread over Drake. With only 6:30 remaining in the game the Bulldogs opted not to utilize their successful running game, but instead went to their passing game on the second down. To quarterback Mel Gustafson’s dismay, the pass did not find Bulldog hands but was interrupted by Drake guard Ralph Gruben who advanced the ball to the FS 24-yard line. The following play proved fatal for Fresno State as Drake’s halfback Jake Coupe connected a pass to Charles McDowell who ran the ball in from the 1-yard line. Jim Baer converted for the final point need to defeat the Bulldogs 13-12. Fresno State found six of their total points in the first half, but not until after the Drake ‘Dogs sent their first seven to the scoreboard. Down by six, the Bulldogs opened the second quarter with an impressive offensive drive. Jack Kelley produced a 19-yard running touchdown play on a double- reverse crossing into the endzone standing. With a failed field goal attempt the score stood at 6-6 heading into the half. Opening the final period, FS scored when Louis Papac received a shallow Drake punt on the Drake 44. Papac pulled defenders to his right then reversed his motion to hustle the ball all the way to the Drake 1-yard line where Hobza knocked him out of bounds. Gustafson was credited with the TD bulldozing into the endzone to score. Taylor’s kick soared wide, but the ‘Dogs were on top again leading 13-7. With less than seven minutes remaining, the game appeared to be wrapped up, but the Bulldogs could not foresee the fatal intercepted pass that would put the game away for good.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The eighth annual Camellia Bowl, played in a muddy Hughes Stadium in Sacramento, Calif., produced a Fresno State defeat as the Bulldogs fell to the Humboldt State Lumberjacks 29-14. Blocking three Lumberjack kicks would generally predict a Fresno State win, but the Bulldogs’ 12 turnovers, seven intercepted passes and five fumbles made up the difference. The California Collegiate Athletic Association champion Bulldogs’ effort was stunted even more with out-of-service phone communication between the press box coaching staff and field staff. Despite the confusion, the Bulldogs opened the scoring by Tony Welch blocking a Lumberjack punt. Welch recovered the ball and ran it to the Humboldt State 5 where Walt Jensen drove it in to score and Ken Casida nailed the extra point. With a seven point deficit the Lumberjacks, 10-1 and Far Western Conference champions, capitalized on the Bulldogs’ offensive glitches and phone service problems coming from behind to take a 16-7 lead heading into the half. The second half was more of the first as the Bulldogs came out strong. Jack Olson intercepted a likely TD pass from Lumberjack Dennis Sommer and ran the length of the field to set the ‘Dogs up on the Humboldt State 1-yard line. Jensen scored and Casida converted cutting the spread to Humboldt State 16, Fresno State 14. The Lumberjacks avenged the Bulldog seven with a Costello pass to Don Del Grande who found the endzone. Casida converted for the 23-14 lead. Humboldt was not finished yet however finding Sousa crossing into Fresno State territory on a 4-yard pass from Banducci. The extra point sailed wide cementing the final score Humboldt State 29, Fresno State 14.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Playing for the 14 surviving children of three Fullerton State assistant coaches and a pilot who died in an airplane crash only a month earlier, the Fullerton State Titans came from behind to take the 17-14 Mercy Bowl II victory over the Fresno State Bulldogs. In the second bowl in Fresno State history played for plane crash victims (1961 Mercy Bowl), the ‘Dogs were never able to find a rhythm that would disassemble the Fullerton State offense. The Titans led for the greater part of the match heading into the second half with a 10-0 lead over the Bulldogs. With 3:21 remaining in the first period Titan Don Cotalic blocked a Bulldog punt scoring on a 22-yard run. Bare-foot kicker Craig Hiatt earned the extra point for the Titans finding the early 7-0 lead. Before the half ended Fullerton State capitalized on more Bulldog trouble as a wild pass from Bulldog center Harry Mestjian caused desperation kick from Atomic Torosian netting only five yards. Bulldog penalties moved Fullerton State to the nine-yard line where the shoeless Titan nailed a 25-yard field goal for the 10-0 lead. The Bulldogs found their strength after halftime driving 66 yards in just six plays and scoring off a 12-yard strike from John Behrens to Ben Childers. Childers caught the pigskin at the three-yard line and barreled his way into the endzone with two Fullerton State defenders hanging on his shirttail. Luis Stoetzl secured the extra point cutting the Titan lead to only three. Fresno State fed off the Bulldog momentum finding seven more points to send to the scoreboard from a Fullerton fumble recovery and a 54-yard rocket from Behrens to flanker Gene Austin. Stoetzl nailed the extra point giving the Bulldogs their first 14- 10 lead of the game.

The Falcons did not let the ‘Dogs back in the game without a fight scoring another goal off a fumble recovery by Potts before the third period expired.
