Possible playoff bracket (based off simulated BCS rankings)
This is based off what simulated BCS rankings through last week would've looked like and then shifting a few teams up/down based off results from today.

ROSE BOWL
1. Oregon (7-0)
8. BYU (7-0) vs 9. Tennessee (6-1)

FIESTA BOWL
4. Iowa St (7-0)
5. Penn St (6-0) vs 12. Boise St (5-1)

SUGAR BOWL
2. Georgia (6-1)
7. Ohio St (5-1) vs 10. LSU (6-1)

PEACH BOWL
3. Miami FL (7-0)
6. Texas (6-1) vs 11. Clemson (6-1)

Top teams out:
Notre Dame (6-1)
Texas A&M (6-1)
Kansas St (6-1)
Indiana (7-0)
Pittsburgh (6-0)

Indiana could jump past a few of those 6-1 team ahead of them. Not sure they can jump from 16 (where they're currently at) all the way into the top 11, though, which is what it would take to be in playoff position. Here's what the BCS simulated rankings would've looked like through last week (BYU would've been #3 in the computer portion but #9 overall).

1. Texas (lost to #6 Georgia)
2. Oregon (beat Purdue)
3. Penn St (bye)
4. Ohio St (bye)
5. Miami FL (beat Louisville)
6. Georgia (beat #1 Texas)
7. Alabama (lost to #13 Tennessee)
8. Iowa St (beat UCF)
9. BYU (beat Oklahoma St)
10. LSU (beat Arkansas)
11. Clemson (beat Virginia)
12. Notre Dame (beat Georgia Tech)
13. Tennessee (beat #7 Alabama)
14. Texas A&M (beat Mississippi St)
15. Kansas St (beat West Virginia)
16. Indiana (beat Nebraska)
17. Boise St (bye)
18. Pittsburgh (bye)
19. Missouri (beat Auburn)
20. SMU (beat Stanford)
21. Ole Miss (bye)
22. Illinois (beat #23 Michigan)
23. Michigan (lost to #22 Illinois)
24. Texas Tech (lost to Baylor)
25. Arizona St (lost to Cincinnati)
