More weight was given to the media and coaches' polls this year in the Bowl Championship Series standings. Southern California and Oklahoma were ranked 1-2 in both, so it figured that those two would be atop the first BCS rankings released Monday.

USC and Miami were the top two teams in the BCS standings, and Oklahoma was third. Texas was 11th, and surging Texas A&M; was 16th.
