6. TCU
7. Boise State
8. Oregon

10. Georgia Tech

No real surprises here. Texas makes the jump past Alabama to number 2. It really does not matter too much as far as the title game is concerned. As long as Texas stays in the top 3, either Florida or Alabama will eventually move out with a loss in the SEC Championship Game. USC drops down to the 12th spot with their loss and Oregon moves up to number eight. It looks like we are heading for a title game featuring Texas against the winner of Alabama and Florida. The SEC teams have not wowed me as much as teams like Texas, Oregon and Cincinnati but they will likely stay up at the top of the BCS standings. It definitely would not be a shocker to see one of them lose a game before they get to the SEC title game. If you are looking at who is playing the best football right now, you would probably have to go with Texas and Oregon. Iowa could easily lose to Ohio State in a couple of weeks and take themselves out of contention. It would be a shame to see another Big 10 team ride a weak schedule into the title game again, only to get beat by superior athletes. Fair or not, I do not think the human polls will let Iowa into a top two spot regardless of their finish.
