Does anyone know why the BCS Rankings penalize you for being too...good? I am 7-0 (one of 5 undefeated teams) and ranked 5th. I was ranked 1st in Week 2 but have slowly dropped to 5th as the weeks have gone on. Here is a comparison of the remaining undefeated teams:

...................Record...BCS....T25 W's....PPG....PPG Allowed
Notre Dame....8-0........1..........4.........41.7......19.5
Virginia Tech...7-0........2..........2.........38.5......21.9
UCLA.............8-0........3..........1.........41.3......19.6
Baylor............6-0........4..........1.........38.3......19.2
Nebraska........7-0........5..........4.........71.2......12.7

I lead the country in T25 W's along with the best offense and best defense. Here are the remaining schedules:

Notre Dame: at Navy, UMass, at #16 SCar, at USC
Virginia Tech: at #18 BC, Pitt, at Miami, Ga Tech, at UVA
UCLA: Or St, Ariz, at #12 ASU, USC
Baylor: at TTU, at #14 Texas, at #10 OU, #11 ISU, K-State, Kansas
Nebraska: Illinois, at Northwestern, Wisc, Purdue, at #21 Iowa

Baylor has the toughest remaining slate, it's safe to assume they will drop at least one game. Assuming ND, VT, UCLA, and myself all win out - which two teams would be in the BCS National Title Game [i don't use the playoff]? I almost certainly need two of the three [ND, VT, and UCLA] to lose at least one game and for myself to take care of business. My resume is the strongest along with my stats. Not to mention the Heisman frontrunner.

My main question: WHY DO I FALL IN THE RANKINGS DESPITE DOMINATING WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT? IS IT AN NCAA GLITCH, AND IF SO, HOW DO I WORK AROUND IT? THANKS!
