2011 College Football Rankings and Team Draft Suggested Guidelines

On the draft board, the numbers in parentheses are taken from a poll consensus. Take 6 owners and conduct a 7-round standard draft. Points will be assigned at 4 intervals: when the September 25 Associated Press poll is released, when the October 30 Associated Press poll is released, when the December 4 Associated Press poll is released and when the final BCS poll is released after the national title game. The September 25 poll accounts for 20% of the total score (with the exception of the bonus points, mentioned below), the October 30 poll accounts for 20% of the total score, the December 4 poll accounts for 20% of the total score and the final BCS poll accounts for 40% of the total score.

For the first three polls, scoring is as follows: 1st place (50 points), 2nd place (45 points), 3rd place (43 points), 4th place (42 points), 5th place (41 points), 6th place (38 points), 7th place (37 points), 8th place (36 points), 9th place (35 points), 10th place (34 points), 11th place (30 points), 12th place (29 points), 13th place (28 points), 14th place (27 points), 15th place (26 points), 16th place (22 points), 17th place (21 points), 18th place (20 points), 19th place (19 points), 20th place (18 points), 21st place (13 points), 22nd place (12 points), 23rd place (11 points), 24th place (10 points), 25th place (9 points).

Points are doubled in the final poll, since it accounts for twice the point total of each of the three previous ones. Additional bonuses are awarded for the following accomplishments: 25 points for winning the BCS Title Game, 10 points for earning a spot in the BCS Title Game, 10 points for a conference title (or piece of one), 12 points for winning a BCS Bowl Game, 6 points for earning a spot in a BCS Bowl Game, 5 points for winning a non-BCS bowl game, 10 points for having the Heisman Trophy winner on one of your teams.
