Question

A college team's BCS football ranking is comprised of three elements:1) the Harris Poll score, 2) the Coaches Poll score, and 3) a computer ranking. Each of these counts as one-third of the final BCS ranking. The Harris Poll score is obtained by dividing the Harris Poll ranking by 2,850, which is the max- imum number of points any team can receive if all 114 voting members rank the same team as number 1 The Coaches Poll score is obtained by dividing the Coaches Poll ranking by 1,475, which is the maximum number of points any team can receive if all 59 voting members rank the same team as number 1 The computer ranking is calculated by some magical formula that won't concern us. We do know, however, that it falls between 0 and 1 Write a program to calculate BCS scores for college football teams. Prompt a user for a team's Harris Poll ranking (an integer between 1 and 2,850), ts team's Coaches Poll ranking (an integer between 1 and 1,475), and its computer ranking (a float between 0 and 1). Your program should include

Explanation / Answer

C program is given as follows

}
/*
Function to compute coaches score based on coaches poll ranking

float calc_coaches_score(float value){
   float coaches_result=value/1475;
   return (coaches_result);

   float harris;     // variable which stores harris poll ranking
