College Football BCS Rankings: Week 7
The BCS Rankings came out Sunday with Ohio State on top. #1 LSU and #2 California both lost Saturday, prompting #3 Ohio State to move up in both the BCS and the AP Top 25 after their win against Kent State.
Ohio State and South Florida held the first two spots in the first BCS standings on the season released Sunday. The top two teams in the final standings released Dec. 2 will play in the national title game in New Orleans on Jan. 7.
Ohio State is No. 1 in both the coaches' poll and the Harris poll, which are two of the three components the BCS uses in its standings formula. The AP Top 25 is no longer apart of the BCS formula.
The defending Big Ten champions know all too well that leading the BCS standings doesn't guarantee a national title. The Buckeyes were first in the BCS standings all last season, but they lost the national title game, 41-14, to Florida.
The final third of a team's BCS grade comes from a compilation of six computer rankings, and that's where the Bulls scored big. The computers have USF as the top team in the country. The Bulls are third behind Boston College in the coaches' and Harris polls, though they are No. 2 in the AP poll by a comfortable margin over BC.
The Bulls, out of the Big East, had never been ranked before this season and the school only started playing football 11 years ago. Now USF is in the national title race.
Ohio State, tied for fifth in the computer rankings, has a BCS average of .942 out of a possible score of 1.000. USF's BCS average is .920.
Boston College, seventh according to the computers, is third in the BCS with a .891 average. LSU (.840) and Oklahoma (.762) round out the top five.
