The Florida Gators held the No. 1 spot in the first Bowl Championship Series rankings, despite playing a relatively weak schedule and struggling offensively in recent weeks.
The Gators (6-0) had .989 points, giving them a 0.36-point lead over No. 2 Alabama in the standings, released Sunday for the first time this season.

I think Timmie scared the team, they changed their style, and it didn’t help when Spikes got hurt.
Don’t count the Gators out though. They have plenty of time to get steamed back up.

Florida and Alabama are both better than Texas, but only one of those teams will play Texas for the Championship.

As a Dolphins fan and Nick Saban despiser, I agree. Alabama should be #1 in the BCS standings. Of course, I also think Miami should be higher than 10, so hey.

I'm no Florida fan, but they do play in the SEC.

If the Canes win out, they'll be fine.
Jacory Harris has been a great story this season.

How’s that #43 passer rating on your QB looking? ;^) OH, and weren’t we playing in Nebraska when we just beat them?
To: Canedawg
Trouble with just winning out is that the ACC Championship might come down to a name draw. I also think pretty much every other team in the AP and BCS top 10 can win out. Not a good position for UM to be in as far as the national title goes.
But what a turnaround it would be if UM won a national championship this year.

Well...the Horns are 6-0. So I reckon the answer to your question is ‘pretty good’. Hopefully tech won’t have to play UH in whatever pre-Christmas bowl game they’re in :-)

Unlike the tech fans who are among the worst, if not THE worst, in college football. Especially when they lose at home.

Nonsense. Alabama is the clear number 1 team.
Popularity contests mean squat. Bring on a limited college playoff.

Your opinion is pathetic. You like your school, I like mine - give it a rest and just enjoy your season.
To: C19fan
It's surprising to see Bama behind Florida in this poll, as they actually played a pretty good non conference team while Florida played Sister Gracie's Choir Club.
Doesn't matter much though, they're likely to play each other to decide who plays #2.
Bring on a playoff, this popularity contest is getting stale.
