BCSKnowHow.com continues to crunch the numbers to show college football fans what a BCS Top 25 would look like. Interest in the simulated BCS rankings increases around the time of year the CFP selection committee starts to release its weekly rankings.

The site released its weekly post-CFP reveal side-by-side rankings Tuesday evening. The most notable difference comes at Nos. 4 and 5 regarding Ohio State and USC.
