BCS Watch: Week 11

Alabama has lost the Game Of The Century to LSU. I didn't know touchdowns weren't allowed in Games Of The Century, but there you have it. Not that you would think anyone actually lost the game, judging by this week's BCS standings. Our boys in blue continue to stare up at the boys in crimson, among other teams. Now that a one-loss team is ranked ahead of undefeated BSU, and the threat of more one-loss teams jumping the Broncos remains, I'll switch my focus from strictly undefeated teams to teams in the BCS top 10. (Although, with Houston still undefeated and coming in at #11, we'll look at the top 11 this week.) So here are the top teams in the BCS standings, along with a few simple points of comparison.
