BCS Rankings Projections: Top Three Will Include Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma

By Jeremy Mauss

The official BCS rankings to not come out until this evening at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN's BCS Countdown show, but I went ahead and am going to predict what the first BCS rankings will be. However, before we get to that here is the projected top-10 rankings from last week via the BCS Guru. 

Full chart is after the jump due to its size.

Rank Pvs Team Rk Coach % Rk Harris % AH CM JS KM RB Cp Avg BCS Conf
1 1 Alabama 3 1399 0.9485 2 2728 0.9489 24 25 25 25 24 0.980 0.9591 SEC
2 3 Oklahoma 1 1434 0.9722 3 2714 0.9440 25 24 23 23 23 0.930 0.9487 B12
3 2 LSU 2 1409 0.9553 1 2813 0.9784 23 22 24 21 25 0.900 0.9446 SEC
4 5 Oklahoma State 7 1168 0.7919 6 2300 0.8000 22 23 21 24 21 0.870 0.8206 B12
5 4 Boise State 6 1170 0.7932 5 2353 0.8184 21 19 19 20 22 0.790 0.8006 MWC
6 8 Wisconsin 4 1244 0.8434 4 2432 0.8459 11 12 20 12 19 0.540 0.7431 B10
7 6 Clemson 8 1046 0.7092 8 2090 0.7270 19 18 22 22 20 0.790 0.7420 ACC
8 7 Stanford 5 1232 0.8353 7 2297 0.7990 14 14 11 3 17 0.420 0.6847 P12
9 10 Michigan 10 891 0.6041 10 1723 0.5993 20 21 13 14 9 0.560 0.5878 B10
10 13 Arkansas 11 871 0.5905 11 1691 0.5882 10 5 17 16 16 0.470 0.5496 SEC

The changes for certain will be that the Michigan Wolverines will drop down due to their loss to the Michigan St. Spartans and look for the Oregon Ducks to get back into the top-10 after their quality win over the Arizona St. Sun Devils. Outside of that the rankings should look fairly similar this evening. The computers still like Boise State more than Wisconsin and that should stay the same this week and for at least one more week Boise will be ahead of Wisconsin.

Here is my opinion on what the first BCS rankings will be.

  1. LSU
  2. Alabama
  3. Oklahoma
  4. Oklahoma Sate
  5. Boise State
  6. Wisconsin
  7. Stanford
  8. Clemson
  9. Oregon
  10. Arkansas

So, we will see how close I am to predicting the BCS, with some help from the BCS Guru who has last weeks numbers in place.

However here is the projected standings from BCS Guru:

1. Alabama

2. LSU

3. Oklahoma

4. Oklahoma State

5. Boise State

6. Wisconsin

7. Clemson

8. Stanford

9. Arkansas

10. South Carolina
