Michigan #3 in initial BCS standings

Michigan is #3 in the initial BCS standings released today behind Ohio State and USC. Michigan is ranked #2 in the AP Poll and, as I posted earlier today, they are #3 in the coaches' poll. The BCS standings can be found here. With the #3 ranking in the BCS, Michigan is in control of its own destiny if they and OSU both "win out" prior to the showdown on November 18th. Even if USC is #2, a Michigan victory over #1 OSU in the season finale would propel Michigan into the BCS title game on January 8, 2007 in Glendale, Arizona. Now the trick is for both Michigan and OSU to get to their November 18th date in Columbus, OH undefeated. Go Blue!
