The No. 1 LSU Tigers marched to a victory over No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa Saturday night, knocking one more undefeated off of the elite totem pole that has become the top tier of undefeated BCS talent.
The Tigers have become the clear No. 1 in the country with their victory, but did the Tide deserve to stay high in the rankings at No. 3? Why is No. 2 Oklahoma State able to move into the No. 2 slot after a near loss to conference opponent No. 14 Kansas State?
There are numerous teams that have bounced around the BCS, as this weekend brought more surprising losses. No one expected No. 19 Nebraska to fall to an unranked Northwestern team. No. 24 Michigan has taken quite a plunge after losing two in a row, most recently to Iowa.
Looking at the BCS rankings, it is apparent that there are teams higher and lower than they should be. Some teams have earned more respect, but for no other reason than conference affiliation.
If there is truly a movement for the undefeated teams to be ranked towards the top, where is the argument for No. 11 Houston? Not only does Houston tout a record setting quarterback, but they have consistently owned their competition this season.
Here is a breakdown of which teams should be higher and which ones should be lower in the most recent BCS rankings.
