Sooners still leads Miami in BCS poll

Even with a loss, Oklahoma is still the choice over Miami in the Bowl Championship Series computer -- but just barely.

Nebraska (9-0) replaced Oklahoma in first place in the new Bowl Championship Series standings Monday after its 20-10 win over the Sooners. Despite Saturday's loss, Oklahoma (7-1) was second, .12 ahead of Miami (6-0).

The Hurricanes, ranked No. 1 in the AP media and USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll, moved from fourth to third after a 45-3 win over West Virginia last Thursday night. The Huskers and Sooners are ranked 2-3 in the AP media and coaches' polls.

The BCS standings determine which teams play in the BCS' national championship game in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 3. The rankings are based on a formula that incorporates the AP media and coaches' polls, eight computers, strength of schedule, won-lost record and bonus points for big wins.

In addition to Oklahoma, five other teams in last week's 15-team BCS standings lost over the weekend -- UCLA, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Washington State and South Carolina.

Michigan (6-1) moved from seventh to fourth place this week, with Texas (7-1) fifth and Stanford (5-1) up eight spots to sixth after its 38-28 upset of UCLA.
