\u3000Oct 15, 2012<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Crimson Tide in first was no surprise. Alabama is an<\/p>\n

overwhelming No. 1 in both polls used in the BCS formula. Florida<\/p>\n

in second was less anticipated.<\/p>\n

The Gators are No. 3 in the polls,<\/p>\n

but rated best by the computer rankings that gave them a slight<\/p>\n

edge over Oregon and Kansas State when the numbers were crunched.<\/p>\n

Florida’s BCS average is .9092. Oregon’s is .8993 and Kansas<\/p>\n

State’s is .8963.<\/p>\n

Notre Dame is fifth and not too far back at .8774.<\/p>\n

Despite the strong showing by the Southeastern Conference,<\/p>\n

another all-SEC national championship game is still a long shot.<\/p>\n

Oregon’s schedule is back loaded with strong opponents and the<\/p>\n

Ducks will likely be able to close the gap in the computers if they keep winning.<\/p>\n

T25-POLL<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) – The top five in The Associated Press college<\/p>\n

football poll has been rearranged for a second straight week, with Florida, Kansas State and Notre Dame moving up in the rankings.<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon hold the top two spots for a<\/p>\n

fourth straight week. The changes came behind them. The Gators move up one spot to No. 3, and the fourth-ranked Wildcats and<\/p>\n

fifth-ranked Fighting Irish both jump two places.<\/p>\n

The shuffling comes after a second straight Saturday in which<\/p>\n

multiple top-five teams lost. South Carolina fell 23-21 at LSU on<\/p>\n

Saturday night and drops from No. 3 to No. 9.<\/p>\n

West Virginia slides from No. 5 to No. 17 after getting routed 49-14 at Texas Tech.<\/p>\n

The Red Raiders move into the rankings at 18th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
