With the knowledge that Oklahoma State was set to make up ground in the computers after a victory over Oklahoma, Alabama faithful had to hope the damage wasn’t too severe. And it wasn’t.

The Crimson Tide retained a .930 computer share, which was integral to them retaining the No. 2 spot in the final BCS standings.

Oklahoma State’s .950 proved to just not be enough.

Here are the rankings of the six BCS computers:

LSU, retaining a perfect computer score for the second straight week, leads a trio of teams — joined by Alabama and Oklahoma State — who are leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the pack in the BCS computers.

Stanford, at No. 4, is well behind the rest of the field with a .820 aggregate, .110 less than Oklahoma State’s .930. The Cardinal had a huge boost in the computers this week, much of that contributing with the Cardinal’s jump past Virginia Tech.

LSU and Oklahoma St. remain atop the computer rankings, each receiving three of the six top spots, good for a .980 aggregate score.

Oregon jumps all the way into a tie for No. 4 among the computers after its victory over Stanford, allowing it to boost itself into the four-spot in this week’s BCS rankings.

Arkansas is continuing to slowly creep its way into the top of the computers, holding a .800 aggregate as it tries to get by the other one-loss teams ahead of it.

LSU joins Oklahoma State at the top of the BCS computers this week, prospering as a result of a 9-6 victory over Alabama.

Alabama doesn’t fall far in the computers, either, as the Tide remain at the No. 3 spot in the aggregate, although at a lower total score.

The biggest jump of the week belongs to Oregon, who now enjoys a .720 computer aggregate as compared to their .490 just last week.

Oklahoma State takes all of the computer love this week, finishing first in five of the six computer rankings, and second in the sixth (Billingsley).

LSU and Alabama have plenty of support, sure, but Oklahoma State brings a different level of domination.

Oklahoma State reaps huge benefits from their victory over Texas on the weekend, coming in at No. 1 in four of the six BCS computers, while BCS No. 1 LSU takes just one computer poll, Billingsley’s.

Alabama, ever so slightly behind LSU for the No. 1 spot in the BCS standings, takes Sagarin’s computer, and fares well across the board, but not nearly as well as the Cowboys.

After the final week of play, Auburn and Oregon finish No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in all six BCS computers, with some disagreement below that.

Both will be headed to the BCS National Championship Game after completing perfect seasons.

TCU and Oklahoma finish with strong computer support as well, finishing No. 3 and No. 4 in the eyes of the computers.

So, here’s what the top of each computer ranking looked like:

Stanford was in an odd position coming into this weekend as a team with support across the board, but an unlikely road to a BCS bowl.

Well with the dominoes that fell over the weekend, Stanford moved up into the No. 5 spot in both human polls.

With the added computer support the Cardinal received this weekend, Stanford rose to No. 4 — the spot which would guarantee the Cardinal of a spot in a BCS bowl — all because of the computer help.

Auburn remains perfect in the computers, and uses that strength added to increased support from the human element to claim the No. 1 spot this week.

So, here’s what the top of each computer ranking looked like:

Boise State gets the help they’ve desperately needed these past few weeks in the computers, with more to come.

Their boost for beating Fresno State was nice, and closed the gap between them and the TCU Horned Frogs to a very close .0135 margin.

But the real change to watch will come next week when the Broncos will be assessed on the strength of their win over Nevada as well.

The two wins combined could give the Broncos enough to jump TCU in next week’s BCS standings.

You’ll want to stay tuned for that.
