After a chaotic weekend of college football, one team stands alone in the latest BCS rankings.
No. 1 LSU (11-0) received every vote and a perfect computer average for the second 1.0000 score in the BCS’s 14-year history.
LSU is trailed by No. 2 Alabama (10-1) and No. 3 Arkansas (10-1) — a first for the BCS. No single conference has ever held the top three spots of the BCS poll.
No. 4 Oklahoma State (10-1), No. 5 Virginia Tech (10-1), No. 6 Stanford (10-1), No. 7 Boise State (9-1), No. 8 Houston (9-1), No. 9 Oklahoma (8-2) and No. 10 Oregon (9-2) round out the top 10.
The standings were quite a shakeup from last week, as four top-10 teams lost this weekend, including three of the top five spots. Oklahoma State, previously No. 2, fell to Iowa State, 37-31, in double overtime. Then-No. 4 Oregon fell to USC, 38-35, while then-No. 5 Oklahoma was ousted by Baylor, 45-38, and previous No. 7 Clemson was blown out by North Carolina State, 37-13.
