Following the 2003 fiasco when LSU and USC shared the National Title, the BCS conducted a major overhaul of its ranking formula. Ultimately their new formula was of sleak design and removed much of the double counting of losses and strength of schedule.

However, the BCS has never and will never release a revised pre-bowl standing. For reference here is the original 2003 standing. Here is the final standings using the new BCS formula.

	Teams	USA	AP	Comp	BCS	Old
1	USC	100	98.15	89	95.72	3
2	LSU	96	97.23	93	95.41	2
3	Oklahoma	92	91.75	96.2	93.32	1
4	Michigan	88	88.43	81	85.81	4
5	Texas	84	81.35	71.4	78.92	6
6	Ohio St	80	74.34	77.8	77.38	5
7	Florida St	72	74.34	72.2	72.85	7
8	Tennessee	76	75.57	61	70.86	8
9	Miami(FL)	68	66.15	65.8	66.65	9
10	Kansas St	64	70.83	51.4	62.08	10
11	Georgia	60	62.65	58.6	60.42	12
12	Miami(OH)	44	46.52	74.6	55.04	11
13	Iowa	56	47.45	45.8	49.75	13
14	Purdue	52	52.25	36.2	46.82	14
15	Wash St	48	39.26	20.2	35.82	16
16	Florida	36	38.09	32.2	35.43	15
17	Boise St	40	33.23	28.2	33.81	17
18	Ole Miss	32	39.2	12.2	27.8	19
19	TCU	28	24.12	29.8	27.31	18
20	Nebraska	20	17.11	26.2	21.1	20
21	Oklahoma St	16	18.4	22.6	19	21
22	Utah	4	6.52	29	13.17	22
23	Minnesota	24	8.25	0	10.75	25
24	W Virginia	12	19.69	0	10.56	NR
25	Maryland	8	13.6	9.8	10.47	23

The big change is USC replacing Oklahoma against LSU to play for the National Championship. This is the only multiple spot change inside the top 22.
