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.
