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.
