My top 5 stayed the same this week. USC moved up to #6. The BCS system shows flaws with three undefeated non-BCS teams. Missouri sled to #19 thanks to an upset by Kansas. Oregon State fell out but Oregon took there place at #18. Cincinnati moved up to #13 by clinching a BCS birth. Florida State and West Virginia fell out of the rankings. Mississippi and Virginia Tech worked there way back into the rankings. The games are few next week but they decide a lot. The highlight of next week schedule is undefeated Alabama versus #3 Florida in the SEC Championship in Atlanta. The winner most likely will meet #2 Oklahoma if they can take care of business against #19 Missouri in the Big XII Championship game. #6 USC plays their rival UCLA. #10 Ball State tries to go 13-0 when they face Buffalo in the MAC championship Game Friday. #13 Cincinnati wraps up their season against Hawaii Saturday. #16 Boston College meets #25 Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship. #21 Pittsburgh wraps up their season against Connecticut.
