1999

1999 saw Florida State finish atop the RPR following their BCS Championship victory over Virginia Tech in a battle of unbeatens in the Sugar Bowl. The Seminoles tied for the best Win % and held top 10 marks in SOS and Score Ratio. Nebraska and Virginia Tech fell within the CCT cutoff, but neither team warranted serious consideration for co-champion status. Marshall, who tied the Seminoles for best Win % and had best Score Ratio, finished just outside the CCT cutoff due to a weak SOS.

Co-champion Consideration Threshold: 0.0411; CCT Rating Cutoff: 0.6845
