Ok, who had the Missouri-Tennessee-Vanderbilt-Auburn-Ole Miss parlay?
SEC-EAST 1. Missouri 12-0 (8-0) Sugar Bowl 2. Georgia 7-5 (5-3) Liberty Bowl 3. South Carolina 9-3 (5-3) Outback Bowl 4. Florida 6-6 (4-4) Music City Bowl? 5. Tennessee 6-6 (3-5) BBVA Compass Bowl? 6. Vanderbilt 6-6 (2-6) Independence Bowl 7. Kentucky 2-10 (0-8) ______________________________ SEC-WEST 1. Alabama 12-0 (8-0) BCS National Championship Game
2. Auburn 10-2 (6-2) Capital One Bowl

I don't think I'm allowed to continue to call Mizzou's high ranking "wackiness"; apparently, the model just saw this coming before the rest of us did. So, I'm sold; New Miss to the Sugar Bowl.

We have our first official BCS standings (as numerous reports have detailed); of our five remaining projected undefeateds, let's look at where they're ranked and who they have left:
1. Alabama (#39 Tennesse, #13 LSU, #11 Auburn, #5 Missouri in the SECCG)
2. FSU (#7 Miami, #32 Florida, #7 Miami in the ACCCG)
3. Oregon (#12 UCLA, #6 Stanford, #25 Oregon State, #12 UCLA in the PAC12CG)
4. Ohio State (#22 Michigan, #27 Michigan State in the B1GCG)
8. Baylor (#15 Oklahoma, #10 Texas Tech, #19 Oklahoma State, #33 Texas)
With only 0.0028 points to make up in the BCS, Oregon's slightly tougher schedule should be enough to push them into the #2 spot (especially if you assume that the human voters stick to their guns).
