With only a few weeks left in the season the fight for the National Championship and the BCS Bowls is heating up. As usual one loss in the next few weeks is sure to end any hopes of entering a BCS Bowl or the National Championship. There is a lot more to these games though as the bowls are not the only reward for continuing to win games. The BCS Rankings are a very important part to the season as they determine many of the bowl games that teams are involved in but they are not the only thing teams are fighting for.

Yet another wild weekend in the NCAA saw the BCS shift yet again leaving very few undefeated teams. The NCAA has gone through a number of these changes over this year making the bowl season even more unpredictable than ever. The season started with Oklahoma on the top but they were leapfrogged by the LSU Tigers who have turned out to be the best team in the NCAA.

The NCAA schedule is beginning to get a lot more interesting with teams being knocked out of contention and big games coming up. This week the biggest game was between two ranked teams but one with much more hope for the top prize in the NCAA. This game was between the #20 USC Trojans and the #6 Stanford Cardinal. The Cardinal were bringing their league leading winning streak that stretches back to last year. The Trojans were coming into the game off of a big win against their longtime rivals the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Finally after NCAA fans have suffered through two weeks of bring blowout games the top 25 saw a shakeup in the top 25. The last two weeks in the NCAA have seen the top teams run over their competition as the top 10 teams remained in the same spots. With a few shifts in positions below the top 10 the NCAA was looking to a boring finish. Fortunately for fans week 8 saw more than enough upsets that have changed the BCS outlook.

The NCAA was not too thrilling this weekend but there was one thing that many noticed above all. The top 10 teams in the NCAA are there for a reason and that is because they are the cream of the crop. There were a number of games this past weekend that saw these top teams completely dominate some good teams. The Top 25 is constantly under scrutiny because it is not an exact science. The problem is that the rankings are based on a number of different factors and before the BCS rankings come out the rankings are based on writers and coaches voting for their top teams.
