Let's Go Bucks!

Rankings

These rankings are comprised of the old BCS formula, with one minor tweak of my own, I add in Collegefootballnews.com rankings. Something to note about their rankings, unlike AP and Coaches, CFN looks at how the team is playing, not necessarily how they could end up.

Update: All computer and human polls have been released

1. Texas
2. Alabama
3. Oklahoma
4. Penn State
5. Oklahoma State
6. USC
7. Georgia
8. Ohio State
9. Florida
10. Texas Tech
11. Utah
12. Boise State
13. TCU
14. LSU
15. Missouri
16. Georgia Tech
17. South Florida
18. Pittsburgh
19. Tulsa
20. Ball State
21. Michigan State
22. Kansas
23. Minnesota
24. Brigham Young
25. Boston College

A few notes:
-The gap between #1 Texas has a sizeable lead over #2 Alabama, which actually has grown from last week(1.64-7.60)
-This week's most overrated team is: #14 LSU rated #10 by human polls and 18.6 by the computer polls.
-The most underrated teams is: #20 Ball State rated #26 by human polls and 18.3 by the computer polls.
-The Buckeyes have climbed to #8 in this "mock" BCS and are ranked #10 by the humans and as high as 3 and as low as 9 by the computers, another significant improvement from last week's rankings.
-Any chance at participating in the BCS National Championship game is at risk for both Ohio State and Penn State this Saturday. If the Buckeyes win it will put them in a good position to move up should more upsets occur. If Penn State wins the quality win should catapult them into the Championship game.


If the BCS selected today:

Rose Bowl (Big Ten vs. Pac-10)
Penn State vs. USC

Sugar Bowl (SEC)
Ohio State vs. Georgia

Fiesta Bowl (Big 12)
Utah vs. Oklahoma

Orange Bowl (ACC)
Pittsburgh vs. Georgia Tech

BCS Championship (#1 vs. #2)
Alabama vs. Texas

Not sure how I feel about some of those. The ACC and Big East are really struggling to have a "second" team even get considered to make the BCS so I am almost tempted to put two undefeated "mid-majors" in there. Here is how it would be in a perfect world with a play-in game to help satisfy those who demand a "play-off"

#1 Texas vs. #4 Penn State... Spread power vs. balance and smashmouth
#2 Alabama vs. #3 Oklahoma... Talk about coaching, Saban vs. Stoops

#5 Oklahoma State vs. #6 USC... Still not sure if OSU is a pretender or contender

#7 Georgia vs. #8 Ohio State... Yet another strong match-up

#9 Florida vs. #10 Texas Tech... I would pay to watch
