New BCS poll released

The new BCS rankings were released today. This is the first poll to include the US News rankings. At the top, Texas has pulled clearly ahead of Oklahoma and will have the inside track to the BCS championship game - if it can get past A&M. USC should have a lock on the BCS championship game unless something disastrous happens against UCLA or Notre Dame. Utah remains in the 8th spot, and should have a lock on the BCS spot for non-"big 6" conferences.

For at large teams, the loser of the SEC championship game should be a fairly sure bet, as should Oklahoma. The final spot will probably go to Ohio State.
