2006

The 2006 season saw Florida return to prominence after a surprisingly dominant victory over Ohio State in the BCS Championship Game. The Gators, bolstered by having the best SOS, finished atop the base ratings. 3 other teams fell within the CCT cutoff, and Boise State (4th in the base ratings) definitely warranted a closer look. The Broncos had the nation’s best Win % as the only undefeated team in the FBS and had also surpassed the Gators in Score Ratio as well, and in examining other factors, I believe Boise State warranted co-champion status alongside Florida for the season.

Co-champion Consideration Threshold: 0.0360; CCT Rating Cutoff: 06935
