2008 BCS Rankings after Week 5
Upset victories were the theme in college football last week.
And after the fifth week of the 2008 NCAA college football season concluded, we have a new team on top of the BCS rankings. Of course, after the Trojans, then ranked No.1 overall, shockingly lost to Oregon State last week, this was expected.
And this time, we have the Oklahoma Sooners on top of the BCS food chain after five weeks on the college gridiron.
Oklahoma, one of the hottest team in college football at this point of the season, continues to dominate opponents, beating them by an average of at least 25 points per game. And just like any other season in college football, the Sooners have Oklahoma thinking of getting a crack at the 2009 BCS national title come January.
The Sooners destroyed 24th seed TCU Horned Frogs 35-10 last week to become the number one team in the nation, overtaking the USC Trojans, but since we’re in for another wild season in college football, I won’t be expecting these guys to remain that long at No.1.
AP Top 25 and USA Today Poll have different teams on the second spot. AP polls have the Alabama Crimson Tide behind the Sooners while USA Today has the LSU Tigers as second best.
The Missouri Tigers, who have been consistent in offense, scoring above 40 plus points in all of their games, climbed up a notch to own the title of third best team in the nation. They have the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday then followed a week later with a game against 21st seed Oklahoma State.
Yes, it doesn’t get any easier for Missouri and I don’t expect these guys to sit that long at the No.3 spot anyway. Besides, if I have to bet on a tiger this season, it won’t be Missouri but with the LSU Tigers since they are still the defending national champions.
