I cast a vote in the Harris poll, one of three factors used to determine Bowl Championship Series standings. The standings are used to award spots in the BCS bowl games and name a national champion. Here my picks this week:

1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. West Virginia
4. Texas
5. Louisville
6. Auburn
7. Tennessee
8. USC
9. Notre Dame
10. Florida
11. Cal
12. Boise State
13. LSU
14. Arkansas
15. Rutgers
16. Oklahoma
17. Boston College
18. Wisconsin
19. Clemson
20. Georgia Tech
21. Missouri
22. Wake Forest
23. Oregon
24. Virginia Tech
25. BYU

I’m surprised Tulsa has landed ahead of BYU in most of the polls, considering BYU beat Tulsa pretty handily earlier this season. I know Tulsa only has one loss, while the Cougars have two but I think those were quality losses to nationally-ranked Boston College and Arizona.

What do you think? Where would you have put USC after its big loss to Oregon State? What about undefeated teams like Rutgers and Boise State? Are there any teams I left out you have added to poll?
