- The BCS standings are comprised of the Harris Poll, Coaches Poll and six computer polls.
- Ball State dropped four spots to No. 19 in the computer polls.
- The Cardinals had a lower computer average because their strength of schedule decreased after playing Miami, which is in last place in the MAC, last week.
- For the second straight week, the Cardinals were No. 15 in the Harris Poll and No. 16 in the Coaches Poll.
