--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first number is the number of recruits receiving a BCS offer or offers. The second number is the total number of BCS offers received by the recruits.

UCF and Marshall appear to be the clear leaders.

Memphis, Southern Miss, ECU, Houston, SMU, and Tulsa are bunched up in the middle.

UTEP appears to have lost momentum, given its past two losing seasons.

Coaching changes proabably hurt UAB and Tulane.

Perhaps Rice fans can provide some info on their recruits' competing offers.

SMU has 8 recruits offered by BCS schools who collected 18 BCS offers. This is based on more conservative confirmed Rivals reports rather than other unconfirmed reports through home team message board who reportedly interviewed each recruit. Taking the interviews of recruits by Ponyfans.com as gospel SMU had 11 recruits with BCS offers who collected 30 BCS football offers plus 3 BCS track offers. However, SMU was less effective against truly strong BCS programs at least according to Rivals as the BCS offers were from schools like Baylor(3), Kansas (3), Washington St. (2), Indiana(2), UCONN, Boston College, Stanford, Clemson, Kansas St., Missouri, Oklahoma St., and Texas Tech. Ponyfans.com added BCS offers from A&M, Iowa St(3), Washington St, Arizona St., Arkansas(although I believe the recruit meant Arkansas St), Louisville, Iowa, Colorado, Vandy, and Kansas
