Week 11 BCS poll unveiled

Not much has changed this week in the BCS polls. Ohio State is the new #1, edging past Rutgers to take the inside track for the national title game. Although dropping to #2, Rutgers and Ohio State actually both pulled away from the 3rd place Syracuse Orangemen by about a point. With Rutgers playing Syracuse in week 13, it's clear that Ohio State, Rutgers, and Syracuse all control their own fate. Rice and Virginia Tech have dropped out of the top 10, and been replaced by Miami of Ohio and Washington. Week 13 still has the two games likely to shape the face of the BCS bows: Ohio State at Michigan, and Rutgers at Syracuse. A Michigan victory could pave the way for Texas to head to and unprecedented eight consecutive National Championship game, while an Ohio State win would likely mean the Buckeyes taking on the Big East champion for the title.

Here are the new top 10 teams:
