Rank/Team/(BCS ranking)/W-L/Next up (Saturday, Oct. 20, unless otherwise indicated)/Comment:

1. Ohio State/(1)/7-0/Michigan State/It will be just like the party-pooper Buckeyes to win from the top spot.

2. Oregon/(10)/5-1/at Washington/Yeah, we love the Ducks. So sue us.

3. LSU/(4)/6-1/Auburn/New motto: 3 yards and a cloud of "Why didn't we pass?"

4. California/(12)/5-1/at UCLA/Jeff Tedford's really going to have to work on that 7-second drill.

5. South Florida/(2)/6-0/at Rutgers, Thursday/Presto, uh-oh — the Scarlet Knights know a little something about Thursday night magic.

6. Oklahoma/(5)/6-1/at Iowa State/The Sooners have it easier by far than anybody the rest of the way.

7. Florida/(15)/4-2/at Kentucky/The boys from Baton Rouge didn't exactly line up this putt for the Gators, now did they?

8. Boston College/(3)/7-0/at Virginia Tech, Oct. 25/An extra week — or two, depending on your view of Notre Dame — can't hurt when preparing for the Hokies.

9. Auburn/(17)/5-2/at LSU/Would these other Tigers dare knock off Florida and LSU in the same season?

10. West Virginia/(9)/5-1/Mississippi State/In this season of anything is possible, the Mountaineers might as well just keep on keepin' on.

11. USC/(14)/5-1/at Notre Dame/Don't even think about it — this is a save-your-trick-plays-for-Oregon game if ever there was one.

12. Arizona State/(8)/7-0/California/Oct. 27/Time for an insane four-game stretch that likely will bury the Sun Devils. But, hey, look at 'em now.

12.5. Running up the score/In this Nuttiest Season Ever, you just know teams are going to leave no fourth quarter TD unrealized.
