SEC teams have dominated the BCS National Championship game for the last four years and now they wrap up the 2009 season with the top two spots in the final Congrove Computer Rankings. Alabama bumped up from 2nd to 1st after its 37-21 win over Texas in the BCS National Championship game at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena. Florida climbed to 2nd with its 51-24 dismantling of Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl. Texas fell to 3rd.

Alabama was a unanimous No. 1 in the Sportswriters and Coaches' Polls. Texas was 2nd in each, followed by Florida, Boise State, Ohio State, TCU and Iowa.

Texas had led the CCR Top 120 for the last eight weeks of the rankings leading up to the BCS title match.

The postseason games merely reshuffled the top seven teams. Boise State rose from 4th to 5th while TCU dropped from 3rd to 5th. A one-loss Cincinnati team managed to fend-off a 2-loss Ohio State squad for 6th.

Oregon fell out of the top ten, dropping from 8th to 13th as its loss to the Buckeyes was its third of the season. BYU climbed from 12th to 9th after routing Oregon State 44-20, and Central Michigan cracked the top ten as it finished 12-2 with an exciting GMAC Bowl win over Troy.

Virginia Tech is the highest-ranked ACC team. The Hokies edge up from 13th to 11th after defeating Tennessee 37-14 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Georgia Tech, the conference's champion, lost to Iowa and in the Orange Bowl and fell from 10th to 14th while the Hawkeyes moved up from 14th to 12th.

The final top ten includes two teams from the Mountain West (TCU and BYU), one from the WAC (Boise State) and one from the MAC (Central Michigan). The Mountain West placed a third team in the top 25 with Utah landing at No. 16. And Middle Tennessee gives the Sun Belt a rare appearance at No. 23.

The top 25 contains five teams from the Big 12 while the Big 10 and SEC are each represented by four schools. The Mountain West has three entrants, followed by the ACC, Big East and PAC-10 with two apiece. The MAC, WAC and Sun Belt each have one.

Alabama led the final BCS Standings which were released following conference championship weekend on December 6. The BCS does not release post-bowl rankings. The Harris Poll's final rankings are also released prior to the bowl games.

Alabama also led the widely-followed CFP Users Poll, as voted on by members of the CFP Message Board community. That final poll will be released on Saturday, January 9.
