The BCS rankings reflecting week 10's exciting slate of college football games were released Sunday evening and they show quite a bit of change in the top 10, including a new team atop the standings.
The Georgia Bulldogs entered Saturday ranked No. 10 in the nation, but after handing then-undefeated Florida their first loss on the season, Mark Richt's Bulldogs jumped to No. 6 in the BCS standings. Perhaps as importantly, the win gave the Bulldogs control of their own destiny in the SEC East as they march toward the SEC title game.
Due to Georgia's win over then-No. 2 Florida, the Kansas State Wildcats find themselves as the biggest beneficiaries, taking what was formerly Florida's spot as the No. 2 team in the nation. The Gators fell to No. 7 in the nation, just one spot below Georgia.
Here are the second BCS standings from No. 1 through No. 25:
