College football rankings: How BCS would rank top 25 after Week 12

The BCS ended when FSU and Auburn played for the 2013 national championship. The BCS formula, though, lives online.

BCSKnowHow.com continues to crunch the numbers to show college football fans what a BCS Top 25 would look like. Interest in the simulated BCS rankings increases around the time the College Football Playoff selection committee starts to release its weekly rankings.

The post-Week 12 simulated BCS rankings were shared Monday. Here’s how the Top 25 looks:

It’s no surprise to see Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU as the top 4 teams, as also seen in the updated AP Top 25 and last week’s CFP rankings. The new CFP rankings come out Tuesday. Much of the interest will be on which teams are next in line behind No. 4 ahead of the Ohio State-Michigan meeting Saturday and conference championship games the following week.

Here’s the latest simulated #BCS rankings, where USC climbs quickly from No. 8 to No. 5, TCU falls just short of No. 3 and a clear hierarchy becomes clear between teams that are still within striking distance and those that are not: pic.twitter.com/LFJdKWp0Ur
