MRI Football 2009 - Rankings Bowl Final
July 20, 2010 | By Benjamin Miraski
Alabama’s big win in the National Title game allowed the Crimson Tide to overtake Texas and capture the 2009-2010 MRI crown.
Florida, a team that lost only a single game all season — Alabama in the SEC Championship, — finished second. Texas fell to third with their loss.
In the context of history, the Alabama final ranking didn’t even place the Tide in the top 10 MRI scores since the 2003-4 season (the first season for the football rankings).
It was good enough to finish at No. 5 in terms of “champions” of the MRI, the BCS, or the AP (only teams that “won” the championship are ranked on those lists).
Check out all the final rankings in the bowl final edition of the MRI.
