A team's highest and lowest computer ranking will be discarded from figuring a team's computer poll average. Points will be assigned in inverse order of ranking from 1-25. The four remaining computer scores will be averaged and the total will be calculated as a percentage of 100.

All three components—The Harris Interactive Poll, the USA Today Coaches Poll and the computer rankings—shall be added together and averaged for a team's ranking in the BCS standings. The team with the highest average shall rank first in the BCS standings.
