Ohio State Buckeyes:
The Heisman Trust Committee is keeping a close eye on 6'6", 233 pound junior quarterback Terrelle Pryor and the Buckeyes' offensive attack. Second on his team with 463 rushing yards and four touchdowns, Pryor is the primary catalyst to the success of Ohio State getting to a BCS bowl this season. Talented junior tailback Daniel Herron has also contributed, leading the Buckeyes in rushing with 634 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Boise State Broncos:
The idea of a non-traditional school like Boise State is something new which is uncomfortable to certain eyes, but the facts remain evident. No matter the opponent before them, this group won those games. Appalachian State upset a fifth ranked Michigan squad by the score of 34-32 in '07. Jacksonville State over Ole Miss in week one, or James Madison stunning Virginia Tech by keeping the Hokies out of the endzone the entire second half in week two proves one thing. These teams indeed did not win games they were absolutely supposed to win.

South Carolina Gamecocks:
A select few are annoyed that everyone appears surprised a Spurrier-coached defense is among the best in the nation when the Heisman winning quarterback unleashed top notch, ravenous defensive efforts onto the Southeastern Conference throughout the 90’s with the Florida Gators. Freshman tailback Marcus Lattimore will more than likely end up playing on Sundays.
Oregon Ducks:
The 'quack attack' currently has the nation's top offense, averaging 55 points per game behind the sophomore sensation tailback LaMichael James. James leads the nation in rushing with 1,331 yards and 17 touchdowns. The Ducks will more than likely end up featured in the BCS National Championship Game.
Rankings usually mean nothing until teams take the field with chinstraps fastened. Traditional reputation and a school's performance from the previous season play a major part in consideration with the human element of the BCS formula (33% Coaches Poll, 33% Harris Poll, 33% computer simulation). Pollsters won't admit it, but the selection process of teams for the BCS is the twin sister of the preseason rankings procedure. Don't be surprised if a non-qualifying school gets into the big show through the back door, going forward.
