POLL EXPLANATION & ABOUT THE BCS:
To derive a team's poll percentages in the Harris Interactive and USA Today polls, each team's point total is divided by a maximum 2850 possible points in the Harris Interactive Poll and 1575 possible points in the USA Today Poll. Teams are assigned an inverse point total (25 for #1, 24 for #2, etc.) for each of their respective computer poll rankings to determine the overall computer component. The highest and lowest ranking for each team is dropped, and the sum total of the remaining four rankings is divided by 100 (the maximum possible points). This figure produces a Computer Rankings Percentage.
The six computer ranking providers are Anderson & Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth Massey, Jeff Sagarin and Peter Wolfe. Each computer ranking accounts for schedule strength within its formula. The BCS Average is calculated by averaging the percent totals of the Harris Interactive and USA Today Polls, and Computer rankings. The highest BCS Average receives the #1 ranking, the second highest receives #2, and so forth.

COMMODORE TEAM NOTES With four victories on the season, Vanderbilt has reached four wins in consecutive years for the first time since 1993-94 seasons when the Commodores went 5-6. It is the third consecutive win in non-SEC play for the Commodores. The 45 points are the most scored by the Commodores since scoring 51 points against Tennessee-Chattanooga Sept. 6, 2003. Nickson became the first Commodore quarterback to surpass 200 passing yards and 100 rushing yards in a game since Jay Cutler achieved the feat versus Furman Sept. 7, 2002. Nickson established career highs in passing yards (250) and rushing yards (150) in the win. It was the most rushing yards by a Commodore quarterback since Van Heflin ran for 167 against Air Force on Nov. 17, 1979. Earl Bennett caught nine passes for 184 yards, including a 77-yard touchdown. It was a season high for receiving yardage by the standout sophomore. Kevin Joyce led the Commodore defense with 13 tackles (9 solo) and one quarterback sack for a 7-yard loss.
