As expected, there was plenty of movement in the top 25 college football rankings after back-to-back weekends across the country in which two of the top four teams lost games.

That was true in the College Football Playoff, as the selection committee had some decisions to make at the top of the rankings and in the latest 12-team seeding projection.

There’s plenty of SEC and Big Ten at the top of the pile as we delve into November football, but there’s still a lot to sort out among the top dozen teams in the country.

What would the BCS standings look like this week?

Here’s what the old BCS computers would have done in the top 25 college football rankings heading into Week 12, courtesy of the folks at BCSKnowHow.com.

25. Iowa State (Unranked CFP). The Cyclones fell out of the playoff rankings this week after a second straight loss, but are still clinging to last place in the BCS calculators.

24. Missouri (23). A late game win against Oklahoma moves the Tigers to 7-2 with a big game at South Carolina next weekend.

23. South Carolina (21). Raheim Sanders ran for 3 touchdowns in a big win at Vanderbilt that put the Gamecocks at 6-3 before the Missouri game.

22. Louisville (19). The Cardinals were shutout last week, but improved to 4-2 in ACC play with that big win at Clemson the week before and are playing a winning schedule to close out.

21. LSU (22). That ugly home loss to Alabama has LSU fans giving Brian Kelly a critical second look after he was effectively eliminated from playoff contention.

20. Colorado (17). The selectors are giving the Buffaloes a little more love coming off that big win at Texas Tech and suddenly Coach Prime is second in the Big 12.

19. Washington State (18). The Cougars improved to 8-1 behind an offense that ranks No. 8 nationally in scoring, but there is no conference title to play for.

18. Kansas State (16). A loss to Houston hurts the Wildcats’ chances, but they’re still in third place in the Big 12 and a key game against Arizona State this weekend.

17. Army (24). The BCS calculators have more faith in undefeated Army than the committee does, but it can change its mind with a good showing against Notre Dame in two weeks.

16. Clemson (20). A win at Virginia Tech moved the Tigers up 3 spots in the playoff rankings, but still lower than the BCS had them.

15. Texas A&M (15). The BCS selectors and calculators agree with the Aggies, who can afford no mistakes after getting beat by South Carolina.

14. Boise State (13). While the Broncos sit outside the top 12 in the standings, they are still the heavy favorite in the Group of Five to earn the 12th playoff spot.

13. SMU (14). Miami’s loss puts the Mustangs in pole position in the ACC standings and they should be slightly favored over the final 3 games.

12. Miami (9). The selectors kept the Hurricanes in the top 10 after their first loss of the season, three spots ahead of the BCS estimate.

11. Ole Miss (11). The committee and computers agree with the Rebels, who entered the playoff picture with a dominant win against Georgia.

10. Georgia (12). The BCS kept the Bulldogs in the top 10 and ahead of Ole Miss despite the loss, but the committee punished them for their second loss.

9. Alabama (10). This signature win at LSU keeps the Crimson Tide firmly in the playoff picture and not having to face another ranked team in the regular season.

8. Notre Dame (8). The computers and the committee agree with the Fighting Irish, who knocked off the hapless Seminoles and have that big meeting with Army in two weeks.

7. BYU (6). A miraculous last-minute drive kept the Cougars undefeated after beating Utah in the Holy War and still in first place in the Big 12.

6. Tennessee (7). Sitting atop the SEC standings this week, the Vols are in position to make a big statement with a meeting at Georgia.

5. Indiana (5). For the first time, the Hoosiers are 10-0. But we’ll know more about this team when it faces Ohio State on the road in two weeks.

4. Penn State (4). There’s a clear path to an 11-1 mark and the playoffs for the Nittany Lions, as the committee isn’t punishing them too harshly for that Ohio State loss right now.

3. Texas (3). Quinn Ewers & Co. beat Florida at home and head to Arkansas this week with a clear path to the SEC Championship Game.

2. Ohio State (2). Will Howard helped fool Purdue in a 45-0 upset and go to Northwestern this week before the Indiana game to help sort things out at the top of the Big Ten.

1. Oregon (1). The Ducks should be favored in their last two games, and with that win over the Buckeyes a few weeks ago, they have an easy path to first place in the Big Ten.
