Week 8 BCS Rankings

The first BCS rankings of the 2012 season were released tonight, and as always, they had a few notable surprises.
Alabama took the top spot as expected, but it was Florida taking the No. 2 ranking over Oregon that will have everyone talking.
The SEC conspiracy theorists will surely be in an uproar this week. Remember, though, there's still seven weeks and a lot of football left to be played. A lot is certainly going to change before the final definitive rankings come out in early December.
