The Southeastern Conference has three of the FBS' top six teams, four of its top 10 and five of its top 13, according to the former Bowl Championship Series computers.

In a season marked by national championship contenders in the ACC and Big Ten, the SEC is strengthening its foothold among the sports' top ranks in the College Football Computer Composite (CFCC).

Two of the top 13 are two-loss SEC teams, the latter being Auburn, which had the second-biggest jump of any team ine CFCC's top 25 this week. Auburn is at No. 13 partly because its two losses are to the teams ranked Nos. 3 and 5 in the CFCC.

Wake Forest and Wyoming were the largest overall risers this week, each jumping 17 spots. Air Force and Marshall each had the biggest drops, falling 18 apiece.

The College Football Computer Composite combines five of the computer formulas used in the former Bowl Championship Series standings to remove the human element from college football rankings. It is compiled by taking the geometric mean of rankings formulated by Richard Billingsley, Wes Colley, Ken Massey, Peter Wolfe and Jeff Sagarin.

Among the metrics feeding the CFCC are wins and losses, strength of schedule, home-field advantage, recency of game and, in Massey and Sagarin's case, margin of victory.
