Enlarge By Erich Schlegel, AP Colt McCoy, middle, and the Texas Longhorns are on top of the first BCS standings of the season. BY THE NUMBERS BY THE NUMBERS 1: Unbeaten teams left in the Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA). San Diego, idle Saturday, is 6-0. Liberty and Sacred Heart suffered their first losses Saturday, the Flames 35-21 to Lafayette and the Pioneers 26-21 to Albany. Liberty had won 11 in a row overall. 12: Offensive plays into the game Saturday before Memphis was down to its third-string quarterback in a 30-10 loss to East Carolina. Arkelon Hall went down with a broken thumb on the sixth play, and Will Hudgens suffered a knee injury after six more Tigers snaps. 21: Games it took Tennessee sophomore defensive back Eric Berry to set the Southeastern Conference career record for interception-return yards with 397. He had a 72-yard return for a touchdown Saturday in a 34-3 win against Mississippi State. 30: Consecutive home wins in Western Athletic Conference play for Boise State, the latest 27-7 against defending league champ Hawaii on Friday. The Broncos have not lost a home WAC game since joining the league in 2001. 155: Consecutive pass attempts without an interception by Baylor's Robert Griffin, the most in Bowl Subdivision history to start a career by a freshman. Griffin set the mark in a 34-6 loss at Oklahoma State, coached by Mike Gundy, who had the old mark of 138 in 1986. 241: Yards rushing for Colgate freshman Nate Eachus -- after starting the game at linebacker and recording three tackles, including a sack, in a 38-22 victory against Cornell. He stepped in for Jordan Scott, who suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter. 280: Games since Washington State had been shut out before its 69-0 loss to Southern California, worst by shutout in the program's 114-year history. The Cougars' scoring streak was the second-longest active in FBS behind Michigan's 295. 376: Career points for Penn State kicker Kevin Kelly, a Big Ten record. Minnesota's Dan Nystrom and Iowa's Nate Kaeding had the old mark of 367. 400: Combined yards rushing and receiving for Division II Abilene (Texas) Christian running back Bernard Scott as the No. 3 Wildcats topped No. 4 West Texas A&M 52-34. Scott had 259 yards rushing and 141 receiving to go with three touchdowns. By Craig Bennett, USA TODAY NEW YORK (AP)  The grid is set for the race to the BCS national championship game. Texas holds the pole position and Alabama is second. Penn State joins the Longhorns and Crimson Tide in the front row, but the Nittany Lions already might have too much ground to gain. BCS RANKINGS: Full standings with extended computer ranks The Longhorns were way ahead of the field when the season's first Bowl Championship Series standings were released Sunday — as expected. Texas appears to be in position to play for the national title on Jan. 8 in Miami if it can stay unbeaten. The top two teams in the final BCS standings play for the championship. Texas is an overwhelming No. 1 in the USA TODAY Coaches' Poll and the Harris Poll, and rated first in each of the six computer rankings, giving the Longhorns a BCS grade of .998 out of 1.000. Alabama is second across the board, behind Texas in the polls and the computers. The Crimson Tide has a BCS average of .949, which bodes well for Alabama. The Tide will be tough to catch from behind if it can stay unbeaten. That's bad news for third-place Penn State. With an .867 average, the unbeaten Nittany Lions will have to keep winning and hope Texas or Alabama slips. In fact, fourth-place Oklahoma (.832) might be able to catch Penn State, even if coach Joe Paterno's team wins out. Southern California (.775) is fifth, Oklahoma State (.773) sixth and Georgia (.720) is seventh. Texas Tech (.713), Ohio State (.703) and Florida (.699) round out the top 10. Texas, coming off a 56-31 victory against Missouri, plays Oklahoma State and Texas Tech the next two weeks, Kansas down the road, and a Big 12 championship game if it can get there. Against that schedule, even a loss would not eliminate the Longhorns from championship contention. "I'm really proud of how they handled any distractions the No. 1 ranking and all of the added attention could have presented last week," Texas coach Mack Brown said Sunday. "But, we have a long way to go and a lot of room to improve. "Watching film today on Oklahoma State will get your mind off of the ratings in a hurry and definitely will grab our player's attention as we start to prepare for another great challenge in Big 12 play." Similarly, the strength of the Southeastern Conference should benefit Alabama — as long as the Tide can survive. It was struggle for Alabama on Saturday, as the Tide held on for a 24-20 victory against Mississippi. Penn State plays Ohio State in Columbus on Saturday in a game that could decide the Big Ten. But after that none of the Nittany Lions' remaining opponents are ranked. As for the potential BCS busters, unbeaten Utah (.634) from the Mountain West Conference is 11th and unbeaten Boise State (.587) from the Western Athletic Conference is 12th. Either would need to finish in the top 12 to earn an automatic BCS bid, but only one team from the five leagues (MWC, WAC, Conference USA, Sun Belt and MAC) without automatic qualification can get in that way. So Utah and Boise State have to keep an eye on each other, too. Copyright 2008 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
