COLLEGE FOOTBALL-BCS STANDINGS
Oct 15, 2012
UNDATED (AP) – Alabama and Florida are at the top of the season’s first BCS standings, making it yet another all-SEC top two, with Oregon and Kansas State close behind the Gators.
The Crimson Tide in first was no surprise. Alabama is an
overwhelming No. 1 in both polls used in the BCS formula. Florida
in second was less anticipated.
The Gators are No. 3 in the polls,
but rated best by the computer rankings that gave them a slight
edge over Oregon and Kansas State when the numbers were crunched.
Florida’s BCS average is .9092. Oregon’s is .8993 and Kansas
State’s is .8963.
Notre Dame is fifth and not too far back at .8774.
Despite the strong showing by the Southeastern Conference,
another all-SEC national championship game is still a long shot.
Oregon’s schedule is back loaded with strong opponents and the
Ducks will likely be able to close the gap in the computers if they keep winning.
T25-POLL
UNDATED (AP) – The top five in The Associated Press college
football poll has been rearranged for a second straight week, with Florida, Kansas State and Notre Dame moving up in the rankings.
No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon hold the top two spots for a
fourth straight week. The changes came behind them. The Gators move up one spot to No. 3, and the fourth-ranked Wildcats and
fifth-ranked Fighting Irish both jump two places.
The shuffling comes after a second straight Saturday in which
multiple top-five teams lost. South Carolina fell 23-21 at LSU on
Saturday night and drops from No. 3 to No. 9.
West Virginia slides from No. 5 to No. 17 after getting routed 49-14 at Texas Tech.
The Red Raiders move into the rankings at 18th.
