AP and USA gives the rank of each team in two opinion polls of writers and coaches, respectively. SS stands for strength of schedule ranking, with 1 being the most challenging. Lis the number of losses during the season. CA (Computer Average) is the average of computer rankings from various sources. QW (Quality Wins) gives a measurement of the number of victories over highly ranked teams.

(Instructions: What you are expected to do is choose the data from 6 of the schools to form a system of 6 equations in 6 unknowns xj.X2..%. Normally one might think the best idea would be to choose the six top schools but if you try that it will not work because the coefficients for the x, and x, are the same for each of the six schools, and thus Gaussian Elimination leads to 0 = 1. which is absurd. So use the first five schools and Washington and you will be able to obtain a unique solution) BCS Index (AP) + (USA) + (QW (SS) + (CAJ+ Note: You can earn partial credit on this problem, AP and USA gives the rank of each team in two opinion polls of writers and coaches, respectively.
