BCS Shakeup - We're #6

Crazy weekend of upsets in the top 10 this weekend. Things have been shaken up in the BCS standings. This is apparently the first time ever that the top 3 teams in the BCS standings are all from the same conference (AND DIVISION).

#2 Oklahoma St lost their first of the season on Friday night when Iowa St beat them. OK St kicked a field goal at the end of regulation that went right OVER the field goal post, but was ruled no good. Iowa St. then won in OT.

#22 Baylor beat #5 Oklahoma. We were counting on OK to beat OK St to give them their first loss, but now it doesn't seem like that's required - they both have a loss.

#18 USC beat #4 Oregon, AT Oregon! We got crushed by them at our place, and then they go back and lose at home. Oregon missed a field goal to tie as time expired.

So that leaves only #1 LSU and #8 Houston still undefeated. Some say we now have a better chance at an at-large bid to one of the BCS bowls - current prediction is for Fiesta.

Gotta beat Notre Dame first. 3rd home game in a row to finish the season.
