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.

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

A few notes:
-The bowl picture is starting to sharpen and will be even closer to complete after Thanksgiving weekend.
-Penn State and Cincinnati have clinched BCS Bowl Berths, but here we kinda ignore that.

Based on these "fake" BCS rankings, here are the games if they were selected today:

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

Sugar Bowl (SEC)
Cincinnati vs. Alabama

Fiesta Bowl (Big 12)
USC vs. Florida

Orange Bowl (ACC)
Utah vs. Florida State

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

Texas-Oklahoma re-match? It seems very possible because unlike the OSU-Michigan conundrum 2 years ago, they don't play on the last weekend. USC-Florida is a VERY sexy match-up, other than that, a bunch of snoozers.

#1Texas vs. #4 Florida... Another sexy match-up
#2 Oklahoma vs. #3 Alabama... Traditional powers collide

#5 Texas Tech vs. #6 Utah... Probably better than the experts expect

#7 USC vs. #8 Penn State... Can Penn State return to early season form?

#9 Ohio State vs. #10 Georgia... Very good potential match-up
