NCAA.
BCS Rankings will be added when they are out (and I see them).

Comments:
#2 Texas only has one game left against a very weak Texas A&M squad. Unless the Gators lose, I don't think the Longhorns can get back to APR's #1 spot. And unless Texas Tech loses to Oklahoma or Bayor, the Longhorns probably won't finish in the #2 spot, either.
Rutgers continues to claw their way up APR's rankings. One more win to get bowl elegible. If they do get invited to a bowl game, their opponent is likely in for a nasty surprise...
Wisconsin gets their 6th win of the season, and with just Cal Poly left, should make it to 7 wins for the season. .
LSU was behind 28 points in the 3rd quarter. In the words of Dennis Green, Troy let them off the hook.
LSU still has Mississippi (APR #28) and Arkansas (APR #62) left. Given the way they nearly tanked against Troy (APR #72), there's no guarantee they'll win either game. Will LSU get a bowl game if they don't make it to 9 wins?..
And LSU moves up 2 spots!? Wow.
Let's play "Coach the Washington Huskies!" You're down 27-7. 8:11 left in the 4th quarter. You have 4th and 24 from just past the midfield line. Do you (a) Go for it, on the grounds that there's really very little to lose, or (b) punt? The Huskies punted; it should be no surprise that they are 0-10 this season.
