Can anyone actually find a website which shows the math involved in calculating the BCS rankings?
Yeah, the so-called "strength of schedule" is what did USC in.

It is a subjective rating, and the teams in the Big 10 and SEC conferences are thought to be stronger than the Pac 10.

There is a bias agianst the Pac 10.

They are going to need to change that as the Pac 10 is 4-2 in bowl games so far....
