The first BCS standings of the 2011 college football season were released this past Sunday!  Speculation has already began for millions of college football fans across the country, however there really aren't any surprises in the initial BCS standings.  LSU(1) and Alabama(2) are sitting in the top 2 spots with Oklahoma not far behind in third.  There is a bit off a drop off to fourth but Oklahoma State is basically in the same position as any of the top 8 teams.  Of those eight teams (LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St., Boise St., Wisconsin, Stanford, & Clemson), Boise State probably faces the toughest battle to get to the BCS Championship game.  Same tune different year for the Broncos but their schedule is really just second or third rate compared to the rest of the title contenders.  The dark horse National Champion from this group is most likely Wisconsin.  The Badgers are beating opponents by an average of 40 points a game.  They are the class of the Big 10 this year and are the strong favorites at this point to win the first ever Big 10 Championship game.
