• The current BCS standings as assembled by collegeBCS.com. The first official standings will be released Oct. 14.
1. LSU .9807 2. USC .9585 3. Cal .8629 4. Ohio State .8515 5. Wisconsin .8013 6. Boston College .7525 7. South Florida .7180 8. Kentucky .6823 9. Florida .5840 10. South Carolina .5008 11. West Virginia .4965 12. Georgia .4515 13. OKLAHOMA .4309 14. Oregon .4227 15. Virginia Tech .4162
Observations: South Florida absolutely has a chance to play in the BCS title game. The Bulls are a surprising No. 7 this week. Two teams in front of them are guaranteed to lose. No. 3 Cal plays No. 2 USC and No. 4 Ohio State plays No. 5 Wisconsin.
How about a Cal-USC rematch in the BCS title game? Start with a close loss by either team on Nov. 10 in Berkeley. That still leaves enough time for the loser to get back into the top two.
Kentucky just about controls its own destiny in getting to the title game. Starting Thursday it plays three top 10 BCS teams in the space of 16 days. (No. 10 South Carolina, No. 1 LSU and No. 9 Florida)
No team has ever come from further back than No. 12 to get into the title game. That means Georgia, West Virginia and South Carolina are still in. Oklahoma, Oregon and Virginia Tech are in danger of being out.
Hawaii is No. 18 and definitely in the hunt to get the No. 12 ranking it would need to automatically qualify for a BCS bowl. Eight teams ahead of it are guaranteed to lose because of head-to-head meetings in the top 17.
• For the first time, Andre Woodson moved to the head of the class of the Rocky Mountain News' Heisman poll. Ten media members with Heisman votes are polled each week. The total points are followed by first-place votes in parentheses.
1. Andre Woodson, Kentucky 41 (4) 2. Darren McFadden, Arkansas 35 (5) 3. Tim Tebow, Florida 21 4. DeSean Jackson, California 19 5. Matt Ryan, Boston College 14 6. John David Booty, USC 10 (1) 7. Curtis Painter, Purdue 4 8. P.J. Hill, Wisconsin 3 9. Brian Brohm, Louisville 1 10. Chase Daniel, Missouri 1 11. Percy Harvin, Florida 1
This ineligibility thing at Michigan is a bit disconcerting. The school might have to forfeit the Penn State game because an ineligible played the first four games of the season
