The college football weekend had plenty of exciting games and on Sunday will be one of the biggest moments of the season so far, as the first slate of BCS rankings will come out and the schedule for the event comes on ESPN for BCS Countdown at 8:30 pm and it will also be streaming on the WatchESPN website online and the standings have Alabama one, with Florida State two over Oregon at three.
The rankings coming into the weekend likely will be shuffled up after a number of top teams losing this past weekend, including LSU, Texas A&M, UCLA, Louisville, South Carolina and Clemson all falling, while teams like Baylor and Missouri are moving up after big wins. The BCS rankings will be the same up top most likely according to projections, as Oregon and Alabama have continued to win and are the top two teams in the USA Today and Harris polls still this week. The winner of Florida State and Clemson was projected to come up to number three and now that FSU has won that game, they likely will keep that spot in the BCS after rising in the Associated Press Top 25.
