The BCS standings will be released later today, but it looks like that TCU will be in a dead heat with Boise State and possibly ahead. While Boise State did what they needed to do in blowing out Hawai'i, but TCU's beat down over BYU was better in comparissions -- which the voters agreed with.
In the all important coaches poll TCU moved up one spot and surpassed Cincinatti to sixth and is within 21 points of Boise State who is at five. What is amazing is that Boise State only lose one point in the polls while TCU gained sxity-two points from the voters.
Utah with its close win over Air Force was only able to move up one spot to nine-teen in the coaches poll. I thought they would have over taken Miami, since they also played in overtime to an equal team in Clemson who is now 4-3 and a near equal Air Force.
The not as important AP poll has TCU at eight, Utah at 19, while BYU dropped to the others receiving votes category.
The BCS standings which will be released later today could be very, very close between four through nine as noted below from ESPNs Brad Edwards.
However the BCS Guru put together their projected top ten:
1. Florida, 2. Alabama, 3. Texas, 4. Iowa, 5. TCU, 6. Boise State, 7. Cincinnati, 8. USC, 9. LSU, 10. Oregon, 11. Georgia Tech, 12. Penn State, 13. Virginia Tech, 14. Oklahoma State, 15. Utah.
