LSU is #3 USA Today and Harris Polls, but PSU is #3 in the BCS

#4 Penn State (10-1) moves past #3 LSU to the #3 spot in this weeks BCS standings which provides one more obstacle for LSU in their hopes to win a national title in '05. Both PSU and LSU still are holding out hope that they can make the Rose Bowl to play in the BCS national championship game.

But in order for either team to get there, they will need some help in the form of a lose from either Texas (10-0) or USC (11-0) and LSU needs to pass PSU in the BCS rankings in order to get to the title game. LSU is currently #3 in all the human polls, but still has to play Arkansas this Friday and assuming they get by them they must then play BCS #15 Georgia in the SEC title game. If LSU can beat both of those teams, they should move past PSU and move into the #3 spot in the BCS.
