Oklahoma, Oregon are Top Teams in 1st BCS Poll
Friday, November 6, 2009 | 5:14 amThe initial BS… I mean BCS poll rankings were released Sunday with the Sooners from Oklahoma topping the list followed by the idle Ducks of Oregon at number two. The Sooners were number six in the AP poll last week, but were catapulted to number one as a result of Wisconsin’s defeat of the previously undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes. Terrelle Pryor and the Bucks managed to stay atop the polls for one measly week. Another contributing factor was the Sooners’ 52-0 massacre of Iowa State.
Three undefeated teams bit the dust this week, putting the magic number of undefeated teams left at 10. The teams to go down this week were Nebraska at the hands of Texas (20-13), Nevada to Hawaii (27-21), and aforementioned Ohio State to Wisconsin (31-18). The pawns are slowly and surely being moved off the board as the weeks wear on.
The first BCS top 10 looks like this through week 7:
1. Oklahoma
2. Oregon
3. Boise State
4. Auburn
5. TCU
6. LSU
7. Michigan State
8. Alabama
9. Utah
10. Ohio State
The two mid-majors in Boise State and TCU will be hanging around in the top three through seven spots until the Goliaths fall. Utah is also climbing the ranks as well. Auburn, Alabama, and LSU will beat up each other in the SEC. I seriously doubt any of these teams go undefeated. The question becomes then: should those theoretical one-loss teams play in the title game even if Oklahoma and Oregon win out? It’s an intriguing debate.
Oklahoma’s meddle will surely be tested with games against undefeated Missouri and Oklahoma State in the coming weeks. Oregon has a mildly challenging schedule with UCLA, probation mired USC, one-loss Arizona, and stumbling Oregon State. Michigan State has a toughie against Iowa which could halt their perfect season bid.
Auburn hasn’t been quite this high in the standings in quite some time. They don’t really have a marquee talent on their team. They just have an overall solid bunch. In previous years, they would be on the cusp of greatness but would stumble in the talent-drenched SEC. It’s good to see them flourish. Hopefully they can keep it up.
I’m still drinking the Boise State-TCU Kool-Aid. There is a realistic shot that they could be the last undefeated teams standing by season’s end as the undefeateds start playing one another. What happens next? Probably a one or two-loss SEC or Big 12 team playing for it all come January, but a guy can dream, can’t he?
