Simulated BCS rankings, Week 7: Notre Dame creeps to No. 6

Notre Dame moves up one spot in the simulated BCS Rankings

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish moved up to No. 6 in this week's simulated BCS rankings after their blowout victory over the Miami Hurricanes Saturday. Notre Dame was No. 7 last week.

The Alabama Crimson Tide still hold the top spot despite not playing this past Saturday. Alabama is 5-0 on the season and face the unranked Missouri Tigers on the road Saturday. The Oregon Ducks also held serve to keep their No. 2 ranking. Oregon, fresh off a 52-21 drubbing of Washington, is 6-0 on the season.

The rest of the top five, however, experienced a shakeup from last week. South Carolina moved from No. 6 to No. 3, while the LSU Tigers fell from the three spot to No. 8. Previously fourth-ranked Georgia fell six spots to No. 10, and was replaced in fourth by West Virginia. No. 5 Florida rounds out the top five, replacing in-state rival Florida State.

Notre Dame sits just outside the top five, but looks to move closer to the top ranking Saturday as they face-off with Stanford at Notre Dame Stadium.

Below are the complete simulated BCS rankings.
