Early BCS Projections

Based on actual Sagarin ratings, projected ratings of the other five computers, and estimated poll numbers, here is the morning line on the BCS Projections.  These will be updated as data is released.

Note:  Oklahoma and Oregon State will be very close; I gave the nod to the Sooners by virtue of a more impressive win which should bear out in the polls.  Mississippi State, South Carolina and Rutgers are also extremely tight; I moved Rutgers to 12 because of South Carolina's loss, but it will be close.  A&M and Cincy hang in because the top contenders to move into the Top 25 all lost, except for Toledo, which of course beat Cincinnati.  We look at information like that, but most voters will likely not move Toledo high enough to get past Cincy.  Makes no sense.
