1. I'm not sure there's a BCS poll after the games
But the other polls have been updated:

4. Nope, there's not a final BCS poll. Just AP, USA Today, etc.
http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/2005_archive_bcs.html

2005 Final BCS standings: USC No. 1 (before No. 2 Texas whooped 'em)
2003 Final BCS standings: Oklahoma No. 1 (before No. 2 LSU whoopd'em)

The BCS exists solely for thew purpose of trying to get a matchup of Nos. 1 and 2 in the post-season (using their formula, which is designed to hopefully match most of the voter/computer polls, or at least a consensus of them). There IS NO point in the BCS standings once that matchup is set: the BCS National Championship is decided by the winner of that game. Other teams can base their bragging rights (and sometimes claims to their own National Championship) using the regular polls.

Not defending the BCS; a playoff would be better (& will never happen). But despite controversies, the BCS has succeeded in getting a matchup between Nos. 1 & 2 (in voter polls) much more frequently than in the past. It just has.
