WEEK 8 COLLEGE FOOTBALL BCS RANKINGS

A one loss Stanford is ahead of an unbeaten Baylor. The Big 12 needs to do some work.

At this point, if you are rooting for the Big 12 then you are rooting for Baylor.

I don't have that in me. Besides, I think two of the teams currently ahead of Baylor will not lose another game this season, and that renders the discussion mute. So that means I don't care about anything but OSU and winning the Big 12. Let us revel in this final journey of the BCS, and prepare ourselves for what might be just as ridiculous until they decide to expand to eight teams.
