The Fan Formula Crew
Using Fan Formula is going to change the way you think about the age-old question that has been plaguing the minds of man since the dawn of time:
Who are the Top 25 teams in college sports?
Fan Formula is the first interactive website empowering college football and college basketball fans to create personalized Top 25 computer rankings. As fans dial in their individual preferences, the site crunches data from every game and displays a custom-made Top 25. Each week the Top 25s are updated and emailed out, based on the results of recent games.

About Brian “BC” Curls
BC rode just enough of the first internet wave to semi-retire to his hometown of Ft. Myers, FL in 2003. A technical guru on all things internet, BC has helped analyze, design and build innovative sites for leading multi-nationals (e.g. Nokia, UPS, and Harrah's) and entrepreneurial start-ups of all shapes and sizes.
As co-founder of FanFormula.com, BC serves as the technical architect, lead web designer and subject matter expert on what goes on in the minds of college football fans in the state of Florida.
BC’s laid back professionalism and hard driving work style won him many awards and customer accolades at Sapient (and may have been responsible for the revamping of the Sapient dress code).
