Week13 BCS Rankings Enrage Some Fans/Coaches

The week 13 BCS rankings were released this afternoon. Upon seeing the rankings, college football fans across the country were shocked, joyful, angry, and downright irate.

In no surprise, Ohio State vaulted to #1 after defeating previous #1 Penn State in week 12. Oklahoma remained at #2, and Maryland jumped to #3. Then...the fun starts.

Florida jumped to #4 after knocking off lowly Duke, and Coach Gump finds his team in control of its own BCS title destiny. Alabama, possibly with the help of an NCAA conspiracy or Coach Stu's sweet talking, jumped all the way to #5 after beating formerly #5 West Virginia. This move jumped the Tide past LSU, which beat the Tide a few weeks ago, sending the Bayou Bengaled fan base into a drunken frenzy.

In addition, an unbeaten Colorado State team, who has climbed the rankings the past few weeks jumped to #6 in the BCS, leaving LSU at #7. Penn State fell all the way into a tie for #7 with LSU and #9 Miami and #10 UNC round out the top 10.

Miami plays undefeated #3 Maryland this week! Could the Canes pull a "Bammer" and defeat Maryland and vault all the way into the top 5? Bama jumped from #10 to #5 after defeating #5 West Virginia, so it's easy to imagine a scenario where Miami vaults into the top 5 with a win this week. With that said, it's very possible that a 2-loss Miami teams makes a BCS Bowl game over the loser of the #1 Ohio State vs #2Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game, should the Canes remain ranked highly.

We think LSU Coach cjohnchavis and their fans can relax though. If the Tigers manage to win out and defeat Florida in the SEC title game, we have a hunch that LSU will jump back up, and possibly vault into the #2 BCS position to get a shot at the winner of the Buckeyes/Sooners slugfest.

At this point, we can't even begin to make bowl projections. Just sit back and watch the drama unfold!
