BCS Standings Week 2

The best game from this weekend had to be Auburn vs. LSU.  Auburn looked awesome as Cameron Newton ran for 217 yards and 2 TDs against the #6 team in the country.  Auburn rushed for 440 yards while LSU only ran for 115.  Auburn is basically unstoppable right now, and this led them to the #1 spot on the BCS rankings for week 2.  Auburn is 1 and Oregon is 2, and these two teams are so strong and fast it's ridiculous.  Auburn has such an explosive offense, and Oregon is incredibly fast in every aspect of the game.  If these two teams meet at the end of the season (assuming Auburn beats Alabama), this will be a BCS championship game to remember for a long time.  The only problem is, Boise State is still lingering in the 3 spot after Oklahoma lost this weekend to Missouri.  Boise State is not making any impressive wins against good teams, but they are still stuck in the 3 spot, waiting for teams ahead of them to lose.  Boise has no control over their championship hopes this year and will never reach the #1 spot unless the teams ahead of them lose.  And even then, do they deserve a #1 team just because other teams are losing?  That makes me think Boise does not deserve the #1 spot.  It could happen though.  The BCS system is run by computers and very little human involvement, so don't be surprised to see Boise in maybe the 2 spot at the end of the season.  As for now, there is no doubt that the top 2 teams in the country are properly ranked.
