Best Answer

Rankings are determined by different "POLLS", the NCAA Coaches poll and the Associated Press (AP) Poll. Generally, most media outlets accept the coaches poll as the official ranking, and when you see a ranking on a televised game, it's the coaches poll rank. When you say points, I'm assuming you mean the BCS point system. The BCS takes several polls into consideration to include a computer polls. It averages these polls and assigns a weight (think point scale) to the average. It then adds for losses and strength of schedule. The team with the best (lowest) score gets ranked the highest. The two highest at the end of the college season are ranked 1 and 2 and play each other in a major Jan bowl.

How do you add points for fantasy football?

The points are determined based on the player's stats. For example in fantasy football, usually a touchdown is worth 6 points. Also for every 10 yards rushing or receiving, that is another point. For every 25 yards passing, that is 1 point. There are sometimes bonus points rewarded for high yardage totals, but all of this is determined by the commisioner and how they choose to have points calculated.

What does it mean to defend ranking points in tennis?

In tennis, world rankings are determined by points. Players earn points throughout the year by competing well in multiple tournaments on the pro tour. This system means that the no. 2 player can beat the no.1 player in any given match, but they will not be guaranteed to takeover the no.1 spot. Thus players must defend ranking points if they want to remain at the top of the world rankings.
