The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) standings are out for the first time in 2012 and like the AP and USA Today Coaches’ Polls that came out earlier on Sunday, the Alabama Crimson Tide are on top.
The Crimson Tide are followed by the Florida Gators, Oregon Ducks, Kansas State Wildcats and Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
There’s also a rare sight in the BCS standings. There are three teams from the Big East ranked in the top 25.
They are the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (15), Louisville Cardinals (16) and Cincinnati Bearcats (21).
You can head over to the BCS website to see how the poll is computed weekly and how the teams are selected for the BCS bowls.
