There's A New Sheriff In Town..And His Name Is Vince Young
This hit the AP wires earlier today...
I'm a Trojans fan but I can't disagree with the rankings. Their strength of schedule is about equal, but the way Texas has been rolling up the W's the last month, taking the everyone to the woodshed and beating them with in the head with an aluminum bat Goodfellas style...it's kind of hard to argue with them overtaking USC in the BCS polls. USC has been winning, but they've scuffling a bit in nearly all their games. I think they'll run the table and get to the Rose Bowl, but I can't get around the fact that their defense has shown more holes than Swiss Cheese. Texas deserves to be number one right now.
I never thought I'd say this at the beginning of the season. But I think that Texas has a great chance of winning it all. They're the equal of USC in talent and they're better defensively right now. The only concern I have with the Longhorns is Mack Brown. He's still got to prove that he's a big-game coach. I'm not convinced. Yet.
It should be a fun winter....
Texas is No. 1 in Bowl Championship Series standings.
The Longhorns slipped past Southern California into first place Monday by virtue of a stellar showing in the BCS computer rankings.
Texas, which was second last week, has a BCS average of .9763. Now second-place USC grades out at .9756.
The top two teams in the final standings play in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 4 for the BCS title.
The Trojans are No. 1 in both the USA Today coaches' poll and the Harris Interactive poll, which make up two-thirds of the team's BCS grade. A compilation of six computer rankings account for the other third, with the highest and lowest ranking for each team being dropped.
While the two-time defending national champion Trojans hold a comfortable lead in the polls, the computers love Texas. The Longhorns were the top team in five of the computer rankings and second in the other.
Virginia Tech is still in third, but even farther back than last week. The Hokies have a BCS average of .9162, leaving them .0592 behind the Trojans. They were .0524 out of second place last week.
Georgia (.8679) and Alabama (.8513) are next, holding their spots from last week. UCLA (.7384) moved up three places to sixth, putting the nation's six unbeaten teams at the front of the BCS standings.
Miami (.7114), LSU (.7065), Penn State (.6450) and Florida State (.5735) round out the top 10.
