Schmidt Computer BCS Algorithm Update; Oregon #1, Auburn #2, Stanford #3

I created an algorithm that follows the BCS rules awhile ago and shared the current rankings last week, so figured I shared them again, particularly since this can give some insight into what the BCS computers might do.

There is no change in the top-3, Auburn actually getting slightly closer to Oregon, but behind them there is some shakeup.  TCU moves up two spots due to Nebraska's loss and also LSU playing a weak Ole Miss.  Boise's win over a decent Fresno State also helped them boosting them a couple of spots to #7.

In the competition for the highest ranking among Big-Televen teams, Wisconsin stays ahead and up 3 spots to #10 despite Ohio State gaining more ratings points but only moving up 1 to #14.

Even though this is a different algorithm than my preferred standard one, the analysis of Stanford being the best one-loss team holds up and they have nearly a full point ratings advantage over LSU.  Oklahoma State is very close behind them though.
