We are eight weeks into the college football season meaning one thing, the always controversial BCS standings are out for the first time. There is not much of a surprise as Texas, Alabama, Penn State, and Oklahoma are number one, two, three, and four respectively, but at number five is where it gets a little tricky. USC is ranked number five in the BCS poll and number 6 in the Associated Press poll, but Florida is ranked number five in the A.P. poll and number ten in the BCS poll. I don't know about you, but it doesn't make much sense to me. The BCS is used, for those of you who don't know, to determine the top two teams through polls, rankings, and computer selection methods to play for the national championship. The BCS never seems to change as there is always controversy among it. Enough with the mess of the BCS, let's get to something more important.
The Texas Longhorns just swept the latest votes for the Associated Press number one ranked team and rightfully so. The Longhorns dismantled the eleventh ranked Missouri Tigers in Austin on Saturday night, 56 to 31. Texas netted more than 600 yards of total offense and Colt McCoy was unbelievable. McCoy went an unheard of 29 for 32 passing, that is a 91 percent completion percentage. That is why Colt McCoy is my Heisman favorite thus far through the first eight weeks of the season. McCoy and the Longhorns have been the most impressive team this season and look like they're on their way to a national title. Being ranked first in the latest BCS polls looks good for the Longhorns as that team has gone on to play in the national championship in the last five years. If Texas can make it through their tough schedule it likes smooth sailing toward the national title.
