Three things to watch:
1)  The race for the top "non-BCS", which Boise State finally won't have to put up with next year.  Currently, Boise State is #22, Ohio is #25 and Louisiana Tech #32.
2)  The race between Boise State and Michigan.  Currently, Boise State is #22 and Michigan is #24.

3)  The race between Boise State and the top ACC team.  Right now, voters have artificially propped up both Florida State and Clemson.  Note the huge discrepancy between both of the poll percentages and the Computer Composite for both Florida State and Clemson.  At least one of those numbers is way, way off and as the season progresses, the three numbers will come towards each other.  Currently, Florida State is #14, Clemson is #18 and Boise State #22.

Boise State Moves Up to #19 in Projected Computer Composite


Two of the six computer ratings that the BCS uses to compute its BCS Standings have not released reports yet this year.  They are Wolfe and Anderson/Hester, and they will release their first ratings tonight when the Official BCS Standings are unveiled.  So the following projected Computer Composite only takes into account Sagarin, Billingsley, Colley and Massey, the four that have released ratings on their web sites.  The Sagarin ratings are official; the other three are projected based on last week's ratings, this week's results, and historical treatment of those results.

(You will notice that the #1 team in the Computer Composite is the same team that has been #1 in Blue Through and Through's Top 25 College Football Teams since Week Two.)

NOTE:  Ohio State is ineligible for the BCS Standings because of NCAA infractions.
