The fifth edition of the BCS standings have been released tonight, and things are getting interesting behind the obvious leaders Alabama and Florida State. Ohio State and Baylor are now extremely close in the battle for third place, which becomes tremendously important should either the Tide or Seminoles fall. Oregon, Auburn, and Clemson are also sitting close behind, waiting for help from others.
Here are the newest rankings:

For a refresher, here is how the BCS rankings are determined:
A team’s on-field performance during the regular season is the principal factor in determining its position in the BCS standings. The formula consists of three components, each weighted equally: the USA Today Coaches Poll, the Harris Interactive College Football Poll and an average of six computer rankings (Jeff Anderson and Chris Hester, Richard Billingsley, Wes Colley, Kenneth Massey, Jeff Sagarin and Peter Wolfe). Because the conference commissioners believe that teams should be judged on performance, there are no preseason BCS standings.
