Auburn One of Three Teams Receiving First-Place Computer Votes

Pollspeak.com lists out all of the ranked teams in college football each week using Top 25 polls and BCS computer rankings. As we enter week four of the season, Auburn joins only Alabama and Oregon as teams receiving first-place votes.

The two polls that love the Tigers' 3-0 start are the Colley Matrix Top 50, which ranks Auburn 1st, and the Massey Ratings Top 50, which ranks them 3rd. Before you get worked up about the computer formulas, keep in mind that these rankings change drastically from week to week.

One take away from looking through all of the polls is that Alabama and Oregon and the clear favorites to play in the final BCS Championship Game next January. The Crimson Tide received three first-place votes (AP, Coaches Poll, Billingsley Top 50) and the lowest ranking was 6th from the Massey Ratings.  Oregon received two first-place votes (Massey, Sagarin) while its lowest ranking was 4th from the Colley Matrix.

The first BCS rankings won't be unveiled until week eight of the season.
