LSU-Alabama Round 2 is just a few victories away.

A weekend filled with upsets left the Southeastern Conference rivals in the top two spots in the BCS standings released Sunday.

And Arkansas is third, further increasing the possibility of an all-SEC BCS championship game Jan. 9 in New Orleans that would be a rematch of a regular-season game.

Though if the Tigers can beat Arkansas on Saturday, then Georgia in the SEC title game on Dec. 3, and the Crimson Tide beat Auburn on Saturday, it’s almost a lock that LSU-Alabama will play again, this time at the Superdome.

LSU beat Alabama 9-6 in overtime Nov. 6 in Tuscaloosa.

Oklahoma State, which suffered the most surprising loss of the weekend, fell to fourth place.

But the University of Houston, with a victory over SMU Saturday, climbed to No. 8.

The complete BCS standings are as follows:

LSU

Alabama

Arkansas

Oklahoma State

Virginia Tech

Stanford

Boise State

Houston

Oklahoma

Oregon

Kansas State

South Carolina

Georgia

Michigan State

Michigan

Wisconsin

Clemson
