The Rest of the FBS will be releasing a weekly ranking of the top 15 Non BCS teams throughout the season. The poll is made up of 27 voters representing 18 different teams in all 5 Non-AQ conferences. The ranking process is simple. 25 points for a first place vote, 24 for a second place vote and so on. The sum of the points from all voters for a team is then divided by 25 and then divided again by the number of voters (27) to arrive at their percentage of possible points earned.
For example: Team A gets 26 first place votes and 1 2nd place vote. 26x25=650 plus 24 (2nd place vote) equals 674. Then 674(points)/25(possible points per voter)/27(voters)=.999 (or 99.9%) of possible points.
