BCS projections from earlier today had Boise State all the way down at No. 6, but when the BCS standings were released tonight they are No. 4 and ahead of the Clemson Tigers who a lot of people thought would be No. 4. The margin is extremely close between Boise State and Clemson, and with Boise State on a bye and Clemson playing Georgia Tech it is almost certain that Clemson will jump Boise State if they get passed Georgia Tech.
Below are the standings.
