The regular season is over, and the final BCS rankings have been released. The title game is between the two teams that everyone expected, and it's tough to argue with the choices, since one is the only true undefeated team in the country and the other is the champion of the best conference. While I don't feel that the two best teams will be playing in the championship, it's only because Oregon blew their chance against Stanford, and I don't feel that a team that didn't win their conference should be allowed to be in a 2-team playoff. Here are my final regular season rankings, with teams grouped by similar level of performance and BCS rankings in parentheses.
