Keys: 2009 = Final 2009 Associated Press Poll; Coach = USA Today Coaches Poll; AP = Associated Press Poll; Md = Median ranking of 29 computer ratings; JS = Jeff Sagarin; KM* = Kenneth Massey MOV; RB = Richard Billingsley; Cp Avg = Computer Average; Yellow indicates top team in BCS conference; Orange indicates top team in non-BCS conference.

Explanation: This rankings method is a simulation of the actual BCS standings with the following variations: 1) The AP Poll is used in place of the Harris Interactive Poll, which is not published until after the fourth weekend of September; 2) Three of the six BCS computer ratings are available – Jeff Sagarin, Kenneth Massey and Richard Billingsley; 3) The other three computer ratings – Anderson & Hester, Colley Matrix and Peter Wolfe – will not be available until mid-September or October, so they’re replaced by the median ranking of 33 computer ratings.
