BCS Rankings: Stanford Moves Up To No. 4, Rose Bowl Picture Becomes Clearer
The penultimate BCS standings have been released, and the Pac-10 has two top-four teams for the first time in six years. The Oregon Ducks have moved out of the top spot, but are still in line for the national title game, sitting at No. 2, while the Stanford Cardinal are now No. 4. On November 27, 2004, USC was ranked No. 1 while Cal was ranked No. 4.
The 2011 Rose Bowl picture, meanwhile, is becoming more clear with these rankings. The Big Ten participant will be decided by next week's BCS standings, and No. 5 Wisconsin has the current edge over No. 6 Ohio State. The Badgers will likely face TCU if everybody wins out, while Stanford needs a loss by Auburn and a win by Oregon for the Cardinal to make their first Rose Bowl since 1999.

The latest college football polls are out today, and the Stanford Cardinal moved up three spots to No. 5 in the latest USA Today coaches poll. The Oregon Ducks remained as the top-ranked team, but lost a pair of first-place votes. Both Boise State and LSU dropped after losses. Here is the new USA Today coaches poll top 25:
Arizona, which was ranked No. 20 in last week's coaches poll, dropped out of the top 25 after their loss to Oregon on Friday night. The Wildcats got 47 points, and are technically ranked 26th, 15 points behind UCF. This is the first time since in 12 weeks that the Pac-10 has only had two teams in the coaches poll top 25.
