2009 BCS Rankings Week 12:  The BCS Rankings of Week 12 were released on Sunday. One interesting thing we have to notice for week 12 BCS rankings is that the top 8 teams remain unchanged. In week 12 rankings, Florida is on top followed by Alabama, Texas, TCU, Cincinnati, Boise State, Georgia Tech, LSU, USC, Iowa and Ohio State.

The top eight teams ranked in the BCS poll in week 11 did exactly what they needed to do to hold onto their positions as the week played out. As I said last week, TCU, at number 4 in the BCS rankings week 12, is the highest ranked team that does not secure a BCS berth automatically by virtue of winning its league. This is the highest BCS ranking ever for any team without an automatic bid to any of the big-money college bowl games.
