In the rankings that matter, LSU is sitting pretty at the moment.
The computers tabbed LSU at No. 6 Sunday, the exact place it sits in both the USA Today and Associated Press polls. It faces Auburn on Saturday, who resides at No. 4 with BCS and No. 5 in the human polls.
Oklahoma (7-0) claimed the top spot in the rankings, which were released Sunday. The Sooners, who rank No. 3 in the USA Today and AP polls, play at No. 11 Missouri this weekend.
Following Oklahoma are Oregon, Boise State and TCU to round out the top five. Michigan State, Alabama, Utah and Ohio State take up the rest of the top 10.
Other Southeastern Conference teams in the initial BCS standings are No. 8 Alabama, No. 23 Arkansas, No. 21 South Carolina and No. 24 Mississippi State. Aside from Auburn, LSU has yet to play two other teams — Alabama and Arkansas — ranked in the BCS. West Virginia, who LSU beat 20-14 on Sept. 25, checks in at No. 20.
Wisconsin, who beat then-No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday, is ranked No. 12.
