Unofficial BCS Standings - Week 6

BCS Guru released his new standings, using all BCS data except for Peter Wolfe's rankings, as it is not available for the next two weeks. Using a median of dozens of other computer rankings instead is a fair estimate.

BCS non-AQ Hit List: Only one BCS AQ conference member is in the top 14, outside of the SEC and Big 12. Two more are in the top 20.
Ohio State
Northwestern
Michigan State

Last year they added a rule to expand the list of eligible teams to nine wins and in the top 18 if ten eligible teams could not be found in the top 14. Could this rule be needed this year?
