TCU (.7890) is sixth, a spot ahead of Boise State (.7752).
Cincinnati was eighth, the lowest of the unbeaten teams, with LSU and Oregon rounding out the top 10.
The big swing between the undefeated Broncos and Horned Frogs came after TCU won 38-7 at Mountain West Conference rival BYU (6-2) and Boise State won 54-9 at Western Athletic Conference rival Hawaii (2-5).
Those games caused a major shift in the computer rating and that put TCU ahead of Boise State, said BCS analyst Jerry Palm. But the Horned Frogs lead over the Broncos is far from safe.
“If those two teams keep winning, it’s going to go down to the wire,” Palm said in a telephone interview Sunday.
Neither the WAC or MWC has an automatic BCS bid for its champion, but in each of the last three seasons a team from one of those leagues has earned automatic entry by finishing in the top 12 of the final BCS standings.
Only one team from an non-automatic qualifying league can earn an automatic bid and it’s unlikely either would be taken as an at-large selection.
