It is no surprise at all that the Alabama Crimson Tide remains on top of the BCS Standings.  However, college football fans may be a bit shocked that the Oregon Ducks took the place of the Florida State Seminoles. However, Oregon clearly deserves the jump to number two after destroying UCLA 42-14.

Losing Perfection

Another interesting change in the standings involves two undefeated teams losing on Saturday. #10 Texas Tech lost to # 17 Oklahoma 38-30.  #5 Missouri lost to #20 South Carolina 27-24 in overtime.
