BCS Rankings Week 13: Complete Standings, Twitter Reaction and More

Talk about your all-time backfires.

In Week 12 of the college football season, No. 2 Oklahoma State was supposed to handily defeat unranked Iowa State, No. 4 Oregon was supposed to outscore Matt Barkley's USC Trojans, and No. 5 Oklahoma was supposed to have a good enough defense to at least contain Baylor star quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Instead, Oklahoma State, Oregon and Oklahoma all lost (Oklahoma on a last-second strike from Griffin to Terrance Williams), and now, the BCS rankings are a complete mess.

The latest AP poll has LSU, Alabama and Arkansas as the top three teams before the BCS rankings are released tonight on ESPN, but who knows if the BCS rankings will reflect that?

So much for Alabama's loss to LSU knocking them out of the title game picture, huh?

For all the latest news and analysis concerning the Week 13 BCS rankings, stay right here, folks.

There's bound to be a lot of happy and angry people out there in Twitter land.

Here are the Week 12 BCS rankings before the Week 13 BCS rankings are released.

You can expect Oklahoma State, Oregon and Oklahoma to drop, with Alabama moving into the No. 2 spot once again.

In the Week 13 AP poll, Oklahoma State has been moved back to No. 5 overall, while Stanford has pushed forward to No. 4 after the Cardinal's narrow victory over Cal on Saturday.

Houston, despite an 11-0 record (just the second undefeated team in the rankings), is No. 8 in the AP poll—ironically behind its likeness, Boise State (9-1).
