The official BCS standings were released this evening, meaning the college football season is halfway over (season goes by too fast). There is no surprise what the top three would be with it being LSU, Alabama and Oklahoma sitting at the top.
Seeing Houston at No. 19 is a bit of a surprise and are in good position to make a BCS game if they can continue to and hopeful that Boise State does not win the Mountain West, because to get the automatic bid from the non-BCS teams require to be in the top-12 and win your conference. I know it's early but if Boise State loses to say TCU and finish the year at No. 10 and then Houston is No. 12 and wins Conference USA, then Houston would get the automatic bid.
However, I don't know if Boise would be ranked ahead of an undefeated Houston, but who really knows.
The rankings are after the jump.
