So the first BCS rankings were released last Sunday. You can see them here. A few notes:

- Was there any doubt that an undefeated Florida team was going to be 1st? I mean seriously; the team throttled Oklahoma in the national championship last year, hasn't lost a game this year (albeit they have looked somewhat ho-hum in doing so), and their quarterback Tim Tebow is a god amongst men. Hell, I want to be like Tim Tebow. No surprise here.

- I will say this about Alabama - if they keep playing like they have been all year, they will win the national championship this year. Florida, despite being #1, has looked unimpressive in doing so, and Alabama has just looked unbelievably good in defeating sound opponents. If quarterback Greg McElroy can become an effective weapon in the passing game, I predict an Alabama-Texas BCS Championship game.

- Boise State is high for me. I know, I know, they have some great wins, including against an Oregon team that looks very dangerous, but a WAC team at 4th in the BCS when other teams like Cincinnati and Iowa are there just doesn't make sense to me.

- Don't sleep on the Trojans. USC plays in an underrated Pac-10 and has an outside chance of shocking everyone and making it to the BCS championship game. They're sitting pretty at 7th in the first BCS rankings.

- Since I'm admittedly an ACC homer, I'll say this about Miami: if they can win the rest of their games (completely likely given the soft schedule ahead) they will be in a BCS bowl. If Georgia Tech clinches the Coastal Division (like I think they will), then the ACC could have two BCS teams this year. How's that for surprising?
