SEC Takes the Top 3 Spots in BCS Standings

DALLAS (AP)- LSU-Alabama Round 2 is just a few victories away.

A weekend filled with upsets left the Southeastern Conference rivals in the top two spots in the BCS standings released Sunday.

And Arkansas is third, further increasing the possibility of an all-SEC BCS championship game Jan. 9 in New Orleans that would be a rematch of a regular-season game.

Though if the Tigers can beat Arkansas on Saturday, then Georgia in the SEC title game on Dec. 3, and the Crimson Tide beat Auburn on Saturday, it's almost a lock that LSU-Alabama will play again, this time at the Superdome.

LSU beat Alabama 9-6 in overtime Nov. 6 in Tuscaloosa.

Oklahoma State, which suffered the most surprising loss of the weekend, fell to fourth place.

Other notable teams in this week's BCS Standings: Houston ranked eighth and Oklahoma ranked ninth.
