EBS Qualifying Format

Each year twelve teams participate in the EBS tournament. Team qualifications are objective so as to curtail the controversy associated with a subjective selection committee, especially given the limited number of teams earning entry into the tournament. A team can qualify either by winning its conference or as the result of its position in the "rankings." A team's ranking, in this case, refers to where that team is located in some mathematical construct (e.g., 1st, 2nd, etc). For the example seasons shown in this document, the current (enacted 2005) BCS rankings formula is used.
