Crimson Tide still on top of the BCS

A team remained on top after last weekend’s battles on the college gridiron.

You read it, the Alabama Crimson Tide, led by Nick Saban, is still at the top of the BCS rankings after 11 weeks into the 2008 NCAA college football season. Although they have an identical record with Texas Tech, the Crimson Tide was still chosen at No.1 in both the Harris and USA Today coaches’ polls.

Can the Alabama Crimson Tide stay on top of the BCS rankings? We still have more than a month of college pigskin left and until January arrives, the Crimson Tide will be hoping not to skip a beat.

And as stated, the Texas Tech Red Raiders, after beating Oklahoma State 56-20, are ranked No.2 with the same perfect 10-0 stand as Alabama’s. Right now, Alabama and Texas Tech have the final two spots for the BCS national championship game, can they keep it? Only time can tell for sure.

The (.879) Texas Longhorns are third, followed closely by the (.864) Florida Gators and the (.844) Oklahoma Sooners. The Longhorns, the Gators and the Sooners, all with one loss, are lurking and ready to take advantage as soon as the two front-runners slip.

Penn State’s loss to Iowa left the Crimson Tide and the Red Raiders as the only unbeaten teams in the 2008 BCS rankings. So, sorting out the all-important first two places in the BCS standings was easy this week.

The USC Trojans are sixth, followed by Utah at seventh then Penn State, Boise State and Ohio State completes the top 10.

Alabama and Texas Tech are still on course to meet in the BCS national title game if they stay unbeaten, though the Crimson Tide now know that their road to the title will have to go through Atlanta first.

The Tide clinched the SEC West and a spot in the league title game against Florida in the Georgia Dome on Dec.6. The game could turn into your national semifinal, with the winner earning a spot in the championship game.
