How about those Texas Tech Red Raiders...

...shaking things up in the BCS! I meant to mention last week that if you'd gone to sleep in, say, 1968 or so, a la Rip Van Winkle, and woke up a week ago and looked at the BCS poll, after asking what the heck the BCS is, you would have seen:

1. Texas;
2. Alabama;
3. Penn State;
4. Oklahoma; and
5. USC.

Assuming that checking the college football rankings was the first thing you'd do after being asleep for forty years, you would be forgiven for thinking that not much had changed while you were dozing. Especially after you were told that Joe Paterno is still the head coach of the Nittany Lions!

I have to say, it's pretty close. The final poll in 1968 was as follows:

1.Ohio State
2.Penn State
3.Texas
4.USC
5.Notre Dame
