In Jeff Sagarin’s computer rankings, one of the six that factor into the final Bowl Championship Series standings, Texas retained the No. 2 spot today behind Oklahoma, which stayed at No. 1.
Despite a strong win over Alabama on Saturday, Florida was ranked fourth, behind No. 3 Texas Tech.
Still, the Gators did move up two spots in this week’s Sagarin ratings in their quest to be in the top two when the final BCS standings are released tonight at 7 p.m. Florida came into the week with an average BCS computer ranking of sixth and an overall BCS ranking of fourth; any tick upwards in the computers for Florida will likely be amplified by the human polls, in which No. 1 Alabama will be tumbling today.
This week’s Sagarin rating: 1. Oklahoma, 2. Texas. 3. Texas Tech. 4. Florida. 5. Utah.
Last week’s Sagarin rating: 1. Oklahoma, 2. Texas, 3. Texas Tech, 4. Alabama, 5. Utah, 6. Florida
