In the rankings that matter, LSU is sitting pretty at the moment.
The computers tabbed LSU at No. 6, the exact place they sit in both the USA Today and AP polls. They face Auburn on Saturday, who resides at No. 4. Auburn is No. 5 in the human polls.
Oklahoma (7-0) claimed the top spot. 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 (No. 5) 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 No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday, is ranked No. 12.
