BCS Standings Released With Oklahoma Number One

Oklahoma was a surprise number one to most, except the BCS Guru who called that yesterday. The Sooners are number one because of their strength of schedule.  There is a lot of football to be played, but there could potentially be a similar scenario when USC was number one in both polls in 2003 but was third in the rankings. Boise is in the three spot in the BCS rankings, but second in the human polls. There is a ton of football left, so things will change.

Alabama's computer rankings are all over the place. One thing I would like to point out, but most may already have which is that the Mountain West is tied with the Big 10 for having two top 10 teams, and only the SEC -- with three -- have more teams.

The ESPN BCS show was quite entertaining and Kirk Herbstreit was plain awesome by making sense in saying that by just watching one can tell how good TCU, Boise, or Utah is. Countered Craig James' statement 'who did you beat and who did you play' by saying just get rid of the non-BCS teams because they don't play the type of schedule that most of the BCS leagues play.

The one team that can make the most noise not in the top 12 is Iowa who plays Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Ohio State all at home. An 11-1 Iowa could make a case for the title game if they are to win out.

A big game this week that will help out all of the non-BCS teams is the matchup of Auburn vs. LSU, well it will help and and hurt. The team that looses stays behind TCU and Boise, and probably will not catch them; however the team that wins will probably move ahead of Boise and TCU.

A ton of football to played, and here are the rankings below.
