THE BATTALION Tuesday, October 21, 2003
OU atop first BCS standings
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oklahoma is in a familiar
place — first in the initial Bowl
Championship Series standings.
The Sooners’ task this year is to
stay there.
Oklahoma was No. 1 in the
first BCS standings for the third
straight year, matching the spot
it has held in the two major polls
all season.
“It’s a positive indicator that
we’ve played awfully well for
seven games,” Sooners coach
Bob Stoops said Monday.
“We’ve earned that position and
have played well through this part
of the season. Now, it’s our job to
continue it, finish it and keep it.”
Miami and Virginia Tech, the
other two undefeated teams
from major conferences, are sec
ond and third.
The BCS standings are used
to determine which teams play
in a national title game. The
teams that finish 1-2 in the final
BCS standings on Dec. 7 will
play for the title at the Sugar
Bowl in New Orleans on Jan. 4.
The formula uses the AP
media and coaches’ polls, seven
computer rankings,' strength of
schedule, losses and a bonus-
point system for quality wins.
The Sooners (7-0) have a 1.0
for poll average, 1.33 for com
puter-rank average, 0.44 for
strength of schedule and zero for
losses for a 2.77 total. Oklahoma
is ranked first in four of the com
puters with Miami the top team
in the other three.
The Hurricanes (7-0) have
4.10 points
and Virginia
Tech (6-0) has
10.23.
“We can’t
get caught up
in anything
other than
winning our
stoops games,’’
Miami coach
Larry Coker said. “If we do
that, everything will work out
as it should.”
Georgia (12.99), Florida
State (13.14), Ohio State
(13.20), Southern California
(13.83) and Purdue (21.50)
round out the top eight. The top
four teams in the BCS are the
same as in the AP poll.
The two other undefeated
teams in Division I-A are not at
the top of the standings. Northern
Illinois (7-0) of the Mid
American conference is 10th,
while TCU (7-0) of Conference
USA is 14th. Both teams have
poor strength of schedule rank
ings, with the Huskies 100th and
the Horned Frogs 96th out of 117
Division I-A teams.
In the first five years of the
BCS, the teams that were in the
top two spots in the first standings
never stayed there for the final
standings. However, the 10 teams
that have played in the champi
onship game were all in the top 6
in the first BCS standings.
After fast starts the past two
seasons, Oklahoma lost twice in
the second half to fall short of
the national title game. Three
years ago, Oklahoma was sec
ond in the first standings and
went on to win the national
championship in the Orange
Bowl against Florida State.
“There seems to be a special
quality about these guys, a gen
uine humility to them and a
hunger to them in wanting to
play well,” Stoops said. “I just
felt in the last few years we were
a little bit short in some areas.”
The BCS was started five years
ago to create a national title game
without playoffs. Champions of
six conferences — the ACC, Big
East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and
SEC — qualify for a BCS game,
and two at-large teams are select
ed to fill out the field.

over a chair and raped her, asking her several
times not to tell anybody, Winters testified.
She told Bryant “no” at least twice, and he
stopped only after she pulled his hand off her
neck, Winters said.
The woman was left with vaginal tears
consistent with assault and her blood was
found on Bryant’s shirt, Winters said.
But he acknowledged under cross-examina
tion by defense attorney Pamela Mackey that
the woman had sex with another man shortly
before her encounter with Bryant. She also did-
n’t tell Winters initially that she had said “no.”
The defense argued that semen and pubic
hair found in the woman’s underwear that
weren’t from Bryant prove he is innocent of
rape — an argument ridiculed by prosecutor
Greg Crittenden. He said the evidence of rape
was “uncontradicted.”
At trial, any discussion of the woman’s
sexual history could be limited by Colorado’s
rape shield law, unless Bryant’s attorneys suc
cessfully argue the evidence fits into one of
the few exceptions.
Prosecutors, however, must convince a jury
that a woman flattered by Bryant’s attention
had no intention of having sex with him as they
kissed. Winters acknowledged she told him
she expected Bryant to “put a move” on her
when she accepted the invitation to his room.
District Attorney Mark Hurlbert has said
he held back some evidence, knowing a pre
liminary hearing requires a judge to look at
the evidence in a way that is most favorable
to prosecutors.
Hooligans

and each fan is a welcome addition to Welty,
Vanderhoeven and the rest of the Hooligans.
“Once people get out here and see that they
can have fun I think they’ll enjoy soccer a lot
more,” Welty said.
Much like the reputation Kyle Field holds in
college football, the Aggie Soccer Complex is
becoming known as one of the most intimidating
venues for opponents in college soccer. Much of
the thanks falls to the Hullabaloo Hooligans.
“It’s just a greai place to play,” Guerrieri
said. “I envy our players who get to play in this.
I wish I had this 25 years ago.”
Trade
Continued from page 7
two years, have now upgraded a roster that won 60
games and reached the Western Conference finals
last season. It also counters the changes made by
fellow Western Conference opponents San
Antonio, Sacramento and the Lakers.
“Dallas likes to take chances and make things
happen. They’re on the cusp of winning a champi
onship right now,” Ainge said. “I can’t sit here and
tell you that we’re an NBA championship team
right now. I just don’t see that. But I’m not satisfied
winning 44 games.”
Walker has size (6-foot-9, 245 pounds) but can
run the offense. His dribbling and passing skills
make him the prototype “point forward” coveted
by the Mavs coach.
Walker led the Celtics in assists the last three
seasons, and he and Pierce combined to average
nearly half of Boston’s points during that span.
“We see Antoine as a triple-double guy,” said
Donnie Nelson, the coach’s son and an assistant
coach. “I know in some form or fashion at the end
of the game you’re going to see the Big Three and
Antoine Squared.”
Donnie Nelson said Nowitzki will get more min
utes at center. Shawn Bradley and Danny Fortson,
also acquired in the Golden State trade, will help man
the position. Eduardo Najera could play there, too.

Monday, acquiring All-Star forward Antoine Walker from
