A week after falling from No. 5 to No. 8 in the BCS standings, Cincinnati got back to the fifth spot in this week's standings.
The Bearcats benefited from USC's loss at Oregon, and they also jumped back ahead of potential BCS busters Boise State and TCU. Cincinnati's schedule strength the rest of the way should help keep it ahead of those two. The Bearcats remain one spot behind Iowa.
Pittsburgh moved up to No. 13 after its bye week. The Panthers would officially be eligible for a BCS at-large berth by finishing in the Top 14, though the odds of them actually receiving such an invite are somewhere between slim and none -- and much closer to none.
South Florida also returned to the BCS standings at No. 25 despite not cracking the Top 25 of either poll that comprises the formula.
