The Florida State Seminoles are the new top-ranked team in college football. The Ohio State Buckeyes are right behind them in 2nd place of the Week 15 BCS Standings.
Florida State and Ohio State both moved up one spot after then no. 1 Alabama lost at Auburn 34-28. Auburn moved up one spot to no. 3 and the Crimson Tide dropped to no. 4.
Sitting in fifth place are the Missouri Tigers, which will face Auburn in the SEC Championship Game this weekend. The winner of that game could find themselves in the BCS National Championship Game if either Florida State or Ohio State lose, or if they work they way up in the standings.
Florida State takes on Duke in the ACC Championship game and is expected to win. Ohio State has a tougher match-up in no. 10 Michigan State.
Clemson dropped from 6th to 13th after falling at South Carolina 31-17. The win moved the Gamecocks up two spots to no. 8.
Other teams that made big moves in the Week 15 BCS Standings include UCF (up three spots to 16th), UCLA (up four spots to 18th), Duke (up four spots to 20th), Georgia (from unranked to 22nd), Wisconsin (down six spots to 21st), Fresno State (down seven spots to 23rd), and Texas A&M (down three spots to 24th).
Northern Illinois sits at no. 14 and is in good position to claim an at-large berth to a BCS game. That could change, however, if the Huskies lose to Bowling Green in the MAC Championship Game.
