Comments:
Oklahoma moves up to the #1 spot, but their power index is close enough to Florida's to be virtually tied.
Florida will have a chance to retake the #1 spot when they play Alabama next week.
As I expected, Texas' power index takes a big hit in spite of a 40-point win over now 4-8 Texas A&M. They're now a significant way below #1 Oklahoma.
How can the Big 12 South leave their division winner (even at the 5th tie-breaker level) up to the BCS? Might as well just make it a coin-toss.
Mississippi has had an amazing season. They were 3-4 at one point before finishing on a 5-game winning streak. None of their losses have been by more than 7 points. Whoever gets them in a bowl game could be in for a very tough game.
As predicted (or at least, suggested was possible), LSU finishes the regular season 7-5.
