#4 South Carolina was #9, beat #19 Wisconsin, and jumped 5 spots. However, #11 Oklahoma beat #3 Alabama by a larger margin and also only jumped 5 spots to #6.

 

#8 Missouri beats #13 Oklahoma State and jumps three spots to #5, ahead of Clemson who beats #7 Ohio State, and Oregon who dominated their bowl game and only jumped one spot.

 

Alabama loses their BCS game, drops 4 spots. Baylor loses their BCS game, 7 spots. Ohio State drops their BCS game, drops 5 spots. Stanford drops 6 spots. All against higher ranked teams than Alabama's game against Oklahoma.

 

Vanderbilt beats an unranked Houston team and jumps to #24. We beat ranked Georgia and miss the Top 25.

 

Duke actually jumped a spot losing to Texas A&M.

With the 4-team playoff, all we can hope for is that there are at least 3 undefeated teams from the B1G, Big 12, ACC, and Pac12 so that the SEC can only get 1 spot in the playoffs. eSECpn is going to keep the SEC ranked as high as possible to try to keep them in the hunt no matter what.

This is the kind of propoganda that makes me shake my head. The logo on the field is enough reason for these teams to justify underachieving what they supposedly should be capable of? Boy Im glad FSU kput a crack in the Titanic last night.

Did anyone notice how Brent Mushburger was constantly gushing about the SEC when Auburn was winning the game? It almost seemed like FSU was playing against the entire SEC... Then when FSU jumped back into the game, they were back to playing Auburn. Is it just me?

All good points. +1 And we'll continue to see this for as long as espn has a financial stake in the SEC's success.

I almost Tweeted a screen shot of the text conversation between my mother and I during the game last night. At one point she said "someone needs to tell Brent to stop polishing the SEC knob"
