<description>&lt;p&gt;<![CDATA[The BCS rankings are the official flagship consensus selector now for NCAA football, whether we like it or not.  It is not the only one, however (AP is another); consensus selectors have been in use since the 1920s - before TV was commercially available.

Rereading the original post, though, the author did say "polls" only; while the BCS does incorporate two polls, it also includes a mathematical factor.  So to be technical, no, Texas was never at the top of the polls in 2005.  But it's also worth mentioning that they were at the top of the BCS in week 10 (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/rankingsindex?seasonYear=2005&weekNumber=10&seasonType=2) [this is the correct link; the previous link was the previous week].]]>&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m pretty sure you&apos;re wrong.

<description>&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m pretty sure that stat refers to the AP Poll and the Coaches poll (USA Today?) and not the the made-for-TV BCS rankings.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;UT was ranked #1 for one week in the BCS polls, actually, over USC in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
