LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State hold the top four spots in the first BCS standings, setting up two potentially huge conference games that could serve as a four-team playff for the national championship.
No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama play each other in SEC play on November 5. No. 3 Oklahoma plays No. 4 Oklahoma State on December 3 in Stillwater.
The BCS standings combine the coaches’ poll, Harris poll and a compilation of six computer rankings.
The top four teams in the AP Top 25, which is not part of the BCS standings, were LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.
