BCS Rankings 2012, Week 10: Seminoles climb, Gators fall in latest BCS standings

Florida State leaps into the BCS top 10 after a convincing victory over Duke. Florida, on the other hand, tumbles five spots after a loss to Georgia.

After suffering their first loss of the season, the Florida Gators slipped in the latest BCS rankings, falling five spots from their perch at No. 2 to No. 7 this week. While the Gators saw a drop in support after dropping a key matchup to the Georgia Bulldogs, the Florida State Seminoles — after beating the Duke Blue Devils — climb three spots, from No. 12 to No. 9.

For their part, the Bulldogs climb significantly on the strength of that victory over Florida, up to No. 6, just behind the No. 5 LSU Tigers.

The entire country continues to chase the BCS No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide, while No. 2 is newly occupied by the Kansas State Wildcats, moving into the spot vacated by the Gators.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, after topping the Oklahoma Sooners in a key meeting, are up to No. 3, bypassing the still-No. 4 Oregon Ducks, which have now been bypassed each of the first three weeks of the BCS standings despite holding on to a solid No. 2 in both polls.

Here's this week's entire BCS standings, via ESPN:
