I noticed scrolling through the acars I noticed I wasn't rated for a BBJ1, Hmm how do I get that rating?

You need to be rated on the 737.

Not to be sarcastic, but what would be the point?
Are there routes specifically for BBJ?

IAH-AMS is flown by a 737-700 but needs to be flown by the BBJ because the 700 can't make it that far.

Unless I'm mistaken all you need to do is e-mail staff and they'll add it for you (since you already have your 737 rating).

Or you could just go to request additional ratings in your pilot center.

the BBJ rating doesn't show up which is fine, because it is on only 1 route and at DVA they don't care about matching aircraft to a route so much.

No. Ratings must be requested via the pilot center.

You should be able to select "737-800" in the drop down menu on the "Request Additional Ratings" page. Additional ratings are grouped with the equipment program, not individually.
