I actually found these rankings interesting, and I admit that I checked them everyday to see who was where. I was not expecting to see us till around the 1-10 range. The scoring went as followed :

National title: 25 points

Berth in one of the major bowls: 10

Major bowl win: 10

Best win/loss record in conference regular season: 10

Final AP top-5 finish: 10

Heisman winner: 8

Final AP top 6-10 finish: 6

Conference title championship-game bonus: 5

Final AP top 11-25 finish: 4

Bowl appearance: 3

Bowl win: 3

10-win season: 2

Week as AP No. 1: 2

Win over AP No. 1: 1

Each consensus All-American: 1

First-round NFL draft pick (since '70): 1

Losing season: minus-2

Each year of television ban: minus-1

Each year of postseason ban: minus-2

Each year of overall probation: minus-1

Each year of financial-aid penalty: minus-1

Each year of recruiting penalties: minus-1

Each penalty of "show cause action:" minus-2

Here the 6-10 rankings

If we hadn't got screwed over in heisman voting with VY and Colt, and if we would've gone to and won the national championship this year (like we rightfully should have) we would be 6 ahead of Alabama. I know its just a bunch of number crunching, but it is a fun read when there is no football going on right now.
