While you and everyone else who has paid attention to college football this season sees Alabama as the far and away #1 team in America, two important pieces of the BCS equation does not. And though it’s early and things will change, at this particular junction of the season, Oregon State is currently the #1 in America according to two computers used in the BCS formula.
The Beavers are in the top spot in both the ColleyMatrix and Ken Massey’s BCS rankings. In each ranking, the Beavers are followed by Notre Dame at #2, but that’s where the similarities end.
The schools that make up the rest of ColleyMatrix’s top 10 are: #3 Florida, #4 Alabama, #5 Florida State, #6 South Carolina, #7 Kansas State, #8 Georgia, #9 Ohio State, and #10 Texas Tech.

Following the road win at UCLA, Oregon State’s coach took his football team out to an after game dinner of In-N-Out.

The folks over at Deadspin noticed a particularly strange quote from College Gameday’s Desmond Howard, where he lets us all know how he’s not buying the Oregon State Beavers and unlike his colleague, David Pollack, he’s not sippin’ that “Beaver juice.”

OSU v. WSU: Position breakdown, who has edge?
ON PAPER, Saturday’s game against WSU is a total mismatch in Oregon State's favor -- but OSU cannot afford to get cocky despite three headline making wins, two of which were on the road. Expect the unexpected in the Pac-12. And the Cougs will be looking to give the Beavs a dose of exactly that, on the prowl and hoping to upset No.14/17 OSU in Corvallis. So who has the edge? Glad you asked...
