BCS Rankings 2010: 10 Teams With the Most To Lose When Rankings Are Released

We are a week away from the release of the first BCS Rankings of 2010, and this past weekend has made quite the impact on the current college football standings.

In the AP Poll, Alabama moves down to No. 8, Ohio State moves up to No. 1, and Miami is nowhere to be found.

College football experts have already developed mock BCS rankings, and we will probably see some drastic changes.

Some analysts are projecting a move by Boise State to the very top of the rankings while other teams will get a bit ripped off.

So which teams will take the biggest hits? Read on to find out.

10. Florida State

MIAMI, FL - OCTOBER 9: Jermaine Thomas #38 pats Christian Ponder #7 on the head as he is held by Andrew Datko #67 of the Florida State Seminoles after scoring a touchdown against the Miami Hurricanes on October 9, 2010 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florid

The Seminoles had an impressive win over the Miami Hurricanes, and while they are emerging as the front-runner in the ACC, the rise of other teams will push Florida State further down the list from their No. 16 AP ranking.

9. Iowa

TUCSON, AZ - SEPTEMBER 18: Quarterback Ricky Stanzi #12 of the Iowa Hawkeyes prepares to snap the ball during the college football game against the Arizona Wildcats at Arizona Stadium on September 18, 2010 in Tucson, Arizona. The Wildcats defeated the H

The Hawkeyes are another team that could fall a few spots in the rankings as other teams (like Michigan State) move up.

Iowa's only loss was to Arizona, but the rest of the Hawkeyes' schedule hasn't presented any other strong opponents.

8. Stanford

The Stanford Cardinal has been pretty impressive so far this season, but a loss to the Oregon Ducks has pushed Stanford further down the rankings.

The Cardinal is currently ranked No. 14 in the AP Poll, but we could see them fall as far as No. 16 or 17.

7. Arkansas

The Hogs are currently ranked No. 12 in the AP Poll, but if they can't pull off a win over the Auburn Tigers this coming weekend, they will be sure to slip.

6. Utah

The Utes are undefeated so far this season, and they are currently ranked No. 11 in the AP Polls.

The problem with this team is its strength of schedule, and it will probably fall a few spots.

5. Auburn

Can someone please explain to me why the most impressive team in the SEC is only ranked No. 7 in college football polls?

Auburn beat South Carolina...who then went on to beat Alabama.

Some experts are projecting that Auburn will slip to No. 8 or lower in the BCS standings.

4. Nebraska

Even though the Huskers are undefeated, they will probably drop from their No. 5 spot in college football rankings.

Teams like Oklahoma and LSU will be moving up, and the Cornhuskers will find themselves on their way down.

3. South Carolina

COLUMBIA, SC - OCTOBER 9: Quarterback Stephen Garcia #5 of the South Carolina Gamecocks tosses the football out of the end zone to avoid a sack after a botched snap against the Alabama Crimson Tide October 9, 2010 at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, So

The Gamecocks are currently ranked No. 10 in the AP Poll, and something just doesn't seem right about this.

With their only loss to an undefeated Auburn team, and their upset over the former No. 1 team in the nation, shouldn't they be further up in the Top 10?

2. Alabama

The Crimson Tide stands to fall as far as No. 10 in the BCS rankings, and even with a loss to South Carolina, can we really honestly say that there are nine teams in the country that are better than Alabama?

I rest my case.

1. Ohio State

COLUMBUS, OH - OCTOBER 9: Dan Herron #1 of the Ohio State Buckeyes celebrates his third-quarter touchdown run against the Indiana Hoosiers with teammate DeVier Posey #8 at Ohio Stadium on October 9, 2010 in Columbus, Ohio. Herron scored twice in Ohio Sta

Even though the Buckeyes are the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, many college football experts believe their reign to be short-lived.

ESPN's Brad Edwards has the Buckeyes falling to No. 5 behind Boise State, Oregon, TCU, and Oklahoma.

Is it fair for a team to slip in the rankings even without losing a single game?

We will find out soon.
