USC understandably caused some shifting in the top of the BCS, though there were a couple of changes that I really don’t understand. Why does an idle Louisville jump all the way from 8 to 5. Why does Florida jump ahead of Auburn with Auburn holding a win against Florida? Doesn’t make much sense if you ask me, but luckily we still have a few weeks ahead to narrow things down a bit more. Your thoughts?

Why does one of the 6 computer rankings have texas at 23 (which pulls our overall computer ranking up)?
Why are some of the discussions stating Ohio State/Michigan game may be a repeat in the BCS title game? Shouldn’t the loser of that regular season game fall above an AP/ESPN ranking of 5? Then, they should not be a BCS #2.

Yeah, I agree that they shouldn’t do a rematch for the BCS National Championship game. But most people probably don’t want to see a repeat of Ohio State/Texas either, so Texas is definitely a longshot to get there.
I am somehow hoping for a Texas/Notre Dame matchup in the Fiesta Bowl. That would be crazy.
