One thing that jumps out at you when looking at the BCS ranking is how low we are ranked in the computer ranking (#23).  That ranking will obviously move up as we go through the meat of our schedule, but at the moment it can be taken as positive since we are still in the top 15 despite it.  We still need a lot of teams to drop in front of us, but there is still hope for a NC.
