Explanation of the "top 25" bowl scoring

(This scoring is only reasonable for comparing with a ranking that only ranks the top 25, i.e., AP, USA, CFP, and RDT.) If at least one team in the game is ranked in the ranking's top 25, it is clear which team the ranking chooses to win. For all the games which a ranking's top 25 does not call in such manner, a "most likely number of correct choices" is used, based upon how many full rankings ranked the winner higher for each of those games.
