Shakeup Leaves Three SEC Teams Atop BCS

By Kevin Heitz

Following a weekend of upsets, LSU and Alabama are sitting at the top two spots in the BCS standings, just a couple wins away from the sequel to the Tigers' 9-6 overtime victory against the Crimson Tide Nov. 5. Even if one of those two slip up, fellow SEC squad Arkansas is sitting in third place with its eye on the BCS National Championship game.

Oklahoma State dropped from second to fourth following the Cowboys' 37-31 double-overtime loss to Iowa State. Meanwhile Oklahoma slipped from No. 5 to No. 9 after falling to Baylor, while Oregon plummeted from fourth place to 10th, thanks to a 38-35 loss to USC.

Virginia Tech sits at No. 5, with Stanford, Boise State and undefeated Houston rounding out the top eight.
