MRI Football 2004: Week 10 - Regular Season Final

December 6, 2004  |  By Benjamin Miraski

It's all over and with a last game surge, the MRI ends up with the same match-up at 1-2 that the BCS did. Oklahoma needed a big win against Colorado to make it to #2, having to pass Cal, Utah, and a jumping Louisville to do it. Oklahoma did just that and cemented itself firmly in the #2 position. Auburn, the team left out of the title game, finishes 6th in the MRI, and Pittsburgh, the Big East champ finishes out of the Top 25. No Big East team is represented in the final regular season Top 25 either. This will be it from the football MRI until after the Bowl games are complete a month from now. Then I will release the Bowl Final standings.
