<p>The <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2011/11/27/2590861/bcs-rankings-standings-week-14-lsu-alabama-oklahoma-state" target="_blank">Week 14 BCS rankings</a> are out and there is no surprise at the top of the rankings as it is looking like an all-SEC matchup for the BCS title game as LSU and Alabama are No. 1 and No. 2 this week, this assuming LSU gets past Georgia . Over in the Big East the only team featured in the latest BCS is the West Virginia Mountaineers who come in at No. 23 and the only ranked team from the league. There is a possibility of a three-way tie between Louisville, Cincinnati and West Virginia at the top of the Big East. Each team will have been 1-1 against the other two teams and the way the tie-breaker works, West Virginia is in control of the Big East's BCS bid.</p>
<p>As for Rutgers they fell last week in their season finale against the Connecticut Huskies to finish 4-3 in league play and lost a chance to share the Big East title. The loss also dropped them in the BCS standings from No. 33 to <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/rankings/bcs" target="_blank">No. 38</a> as they received votes in the human polls and had an average computer ranking of 39.5 Rutgers could have the distinction of beating the Big East champion if that team happens to be Cincinnati. Earlier in the season Rutgers defeated Cincinnati 20-3 and Cincinnati can win the Big East and go to a BCS bowl game by winning this week and having West Virginia loss to South Florida. </p>

The loss knocked the Scarlet Knights out of the race for the Big East title and reduced the handful of teams vying for the Big East title down to three: Cincinnati, Louisville and West Virginia.

<p>The latest college football rankings were released Sunday afternoon. Did Rutgers University crack the top 25?</p> <p>Before losing Saturday, 44-20, at the University of Connecticut, the Rutgers University football program had hopes of cracking the top 25 college football rankings in Week 14. Instead the Scarlet Knights (8-4, 4-3), who received six votes in last week's AP Poll, didn't <a href="http://espn.go.com/college-football/rankings/_/week/14">receive a vote in this week's rankings, </a>released Sunday.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/syracuse-orange" class="sbn-auto-link">Syracuse Orange</a>, who dropped their fourth straight game in a loss to the University of Cincinnati, 30-13, didn't sniff the top 25. As for the Big East Conference, West Virginia University, which defeated the University of Pittsburgh, 21-20, Friday night in the Backyard Brawl, was its lone representative.</p>
<p>Overall, LSU remains No. 1, while Alabama, Oklahoma State, Stanford and Virginia Tech round out the AP Poll's top five, respectively. Here's the rest of the top 25 rankings:</p>
<p>1) LSU<br>2) Alabama<br>3) Oklahoma<br>4) Stanford<br>5) Virginia Tech<br>6) Arkansas<br>7) Houston<br>8) Oregon<br>9) Boise State<br>10) USC<br>11) Michigan State<br>12) Georgia<br>13) Oklahoma<br>14) South Carolina<br>15) Wisconsin<br>16) Kansas State<br>17) Michigan<br>18) TCU<br>19) Baylor<br>20) Nebraska<br>21) Clemson<br>22) West Virgina<br>23) Penn State<br>24) South Mississippi<br>25) Florida State</p>
