Non-BCS Top 25

FOR A COMPLETE PREVIEW OF THE 2010-2011 SEASON, CLICK HERE

As I’ve mentioned several times before on this site, I don’t like the term “mid-major” at all—there is too much gray area when people want to know which conferences and teams it is referring to. Therefore, when discussing the teams outside of the major conferences, I like to use the term “Non-BCS.” Yes, it’s a football term, but it’s much easier than calling the poll the “Every Conference but the Big Six Top 25.” As a result, this is what I have done. Every team and conference that is not the ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-10 and SEC is eligible for this poll. The easy way out? Sure. But there was certainly nothing easy about ranking the Top 25 teams outside the Big Six conferences.
