Here is my BCS top 10 for 10/31:
1.Auburn
2.Oregon
3.Boise State
4.TCU
5.Utah
6.Alabama
7.Nebraska
8.Oklahoma
9.Wisconsin
10.Ohio State

In my opinion, Auburn is the best team in the nation, they have played the toughest schedule in the toughest conference in college football.
Oregon has had an impressive margin of victory in the majority of their games and are a close second.
I think Boise State should be number three, they continue to win week in and week out and should have a shot at the national championship if Oregon goes down. The only way Boise should not play for the national championship is if Auburn and Oregon win out, or if one-loss Alabama defeats Auburn and goes on to win the SEC Championship Game. This should put Alabama above Boise, leaving Boise out of the big game once again.
TCU had another impressive win over another hapless opponent, which should leave them at number four. They have the toughest test of their season coming up this week, playing (5)Utah.
I agree with the rest of the standings except for (10)LSU.
Alabama is coming off of a bye week and will play a tough game in Baton Rouge against the number ten LSU Tigers this weekend, who are also coming off of a bye.
Nebraska took down (12)Missouri after their big win over then number one Oklahoma, moving them up from  14 to 7, switching spots with Missouri.
Oklahoma bounced back with a 43-10 blowout over Colorado, leaving them in the top 10 mix.
Wisconsin is coming off of a bye week and will play at Purdue and then host Indiana in the next two weeks and should be 9-1 after those two games.
Ohio State should be number 10 in my opinion. They blew out Minnesota on the road, giving them the boost into the top 10.

Impact Game of the Week:
(6)Alabama @ (10)LSU
(10)LSU had a tough loss at Auburn and will host (6)Alabama after a bye week. This has the potential to have the biggest impact on the BCS this week if LSU can take down Alabama, which would basically give Auburn the SEC West Division and make the Iron Bowl less meaningful. If Alabama can win on the road in a tough environment, Auburn and Alabama will be on a collision course for the SEC West and a chance to play for the national title.
