Kansas State has now reached its highest-ever spot in the BCS standings, overtaking Florida to reach No. 2 after the Gators fell to Georgia. Remaining at No. 1 is, of course, Alabama, which has still yet to be challenged since losing to LSU last year. Oh hey, look! They play No. 5 LSU again in just a few days. Great!
The computers love K-State and the Irish, thanks to their scheduling. The humans favor Oregon -- the margin is very slim, however, with just .001 points separating Notre Dame and the Ducks.
Oregon's still very much in the running, however -- even though they've been losing ground in the standings for a couple weeks now, their schedule is back-loaded. They have USC, Stanford and Oregon State still to go, plus a likely Pac-12 Championship Game appearance. Four quality wins could put the Ducks into the title game over other unbeatens, but we've still got a long way to go.
Among the other biggest points of excitement: Georgia re-enters the Top 6 after falling all the way out of the Top 10 thanks to its grueling win over Florida, No. 25 LA Tech appears, and No. 19 Boise State moves ever closer to nabbing another non-AQ BCS bowl spot, ranking a spot ahead of the lowest-ranked AQ leader, Nebraska.
