BCS Rankings: LSU Still On Top; Alabama, Oklahoma State Chasing

BCS Rankings, Week 14: Stanford Moves To No. 4; Oregon Creeps To No. 9

The Pac-12 is still on the path to have two BCS teams in 2011 after the Week 14 BCS standings came out. The Oregon Ducks are playing in the Pac-12 Championship Game against the UCLA Bruins and should, in most possibilities, win the game, taking the conference's BCS bid to the Rose Bowl. The Ducks checked in at No. 9 in the rankings this week, a one-spot move up. They defeated the Oregon St. Beavers in the Civil War, 49-21.

The Stanford Cardinal, on the other hand, will look for a BCS automatic bid as a result of being the No. 4 team this week. Since the Cardinal is not playing in the Pac-12 title game, Stanford has no control on the field to move up or down in the polls. But if somehow Virginia Tech or Houston does enough to move up in the computers or the Coaches or Harris polls, Stanford could be move out of an automatic BCS bid.

The Pac-12 teams in the top 25:

4. Stanford
9. Oregon

BCS Rankings, Week 14: SEC Remains Strong At Top Despite Arkansas' Loss

The SEC kept three teams in the top 10 of the Week 14 BCS standings, and that after two of those teams played each other over the holiday weekend. Last week, the LSU Tigers, the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Arkansas Razorbacks held the top three spots, but the Tigers and the Razorbacks faced off on Friday. The Razorbacks fell to the Tigers, 41-17, but they had just a three-spot drop to No. 8 in this week's rankings.

Alabama kept the No. 2 spot this week after defeating the Auburn Tigers, 42-14. The Tigers had been the No. 24 team in last week's BCS standings, but that loss dropped them out of the top 25 this week.

The South Carolina Gamecocks and the Georgia Bulldogs each won over the weekend to remain in the top 15 of the BCS, but Georgia fell a spot this time around. Here are all the SEC teams in the BCS Top 25:

1. LSU
2. Alabama
8. Arkansas
12. South Carolina
14. Georgia

Week 14 BCS Rankings: Big 12 Well-Represented With Oklahoma State At No. 3

The Oklahoma St. Cowboys recovered in the Week 14 BCS rankings by moving to No. 3 one week after a loss to the Iowa St. Cyclones. The team was idle during the Thanksgiving weekend and couldn't do anything on the field to affect its ranking. However, the regular season finale against the Oklahoma Sooners could prove pivotal if the Cowboys hope to crash the National Title Game.

The Sooners, the No. 10 team in this week's BCS standings, will visit Stillwater and look to capture the Big 12's automatic BCS bowl bid. But if the Cowboys are able to pick up a win by a wide margin of victory and the LSU Tigers lose by a wide margin to the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship Game, it is possible Oklahoma State could move into the top two. But what are the chances of both those things happening?

Here are the Big 12 teams in the BCS Top 25:

3. Oklahoma State
10. Oklahoma
11. Kansas State
17. Baylor
22. Texas
25. Missouri

The SEC rematch in the BCS National Championship Game seems all but unavoidable at this point.

The Tigers and Tide solidified their positioning with blowouts in Week 13, and they are on track for a rematch of LSU's 9-6 overtime win in January. Oklahoma State, Stanford, and Virginia Tech round out the top five.

After its loss to the LSU juggernaut, Arkansas falls to No. 6, staying ahead of unbeaten Houston. Oregon, Boise State, and USC all tie for ninth, while Michigan State is the first team outside the top 10 at No. 11, meaning the Big Ten's without a top-10 team.
