Yeah, it’s still Florida.

As expected, the Florida Gators remain atop the BCS standings after Week 12 of the 2009 NCAA college football season.

The Florida Gators, which had to fight for a 10-point win at South Carolina, remain first with a BCS average of .9833, followed by the Alabama Crimson Tide at .9521 and the Texas Longhorns at .9261.

The nation’s three remaining unbeaten schools; TCU Horned Frogs, Cincinnati Bearcats and Boise State Broncos, are holding steady at fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

TCU, at no.4, 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.

There was no change in the top eight teams from Week 11 to Week 12.

Rounding out the BCS top 10 is Georgia Tech at No.7, followed by Louisiana State, Pittsburgh and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

The top eight teams ranked in the 2009 BCS rankings in Week 11 did exactly what they needed to do to hold onto their positions as the week played out. Florida went on the road to Columbia S.C. and took care of business by defeating South Carolina.

The Alabama Crimson Tide ventured into hostile territory and manhandled Mississippi State while Texas stepped out of BIG 12 play to humiliate Central Florida of C-USA down in Austin.

TCU helped itself to stay at No. 4 with its 55-28 beat-down of last year’s BCS buster, Utah at home in Fort Worth, Texas. The only thing standing in the way of a sure BCS bid for the Horned Frogs are Wyoming in Week 12 and woeful New Mexico in Week 13.

The top two teams in the final BCS standings released on Dec.6 will play for the national championship in Pasadena on Jan.7. However, Alabama and Florida will have to play each other for the SEC championship prior to that point, leaving, most likely the Texas Longhorns to be the other team in the BCS championship game.
