I'm not sure how I missed this gem:

Power Poll: One-loss Auburn No. 2; can Tigers jump Ohio State in BCS?
Power Poll
1. Florida State (2): All that stands between the Seminoles and a title shot is the best team in Duke history. It felt strange just to write that sentence. Blue Devils are four-touchdown underdogs.
2. Auburn (5): Lost in
Lightning Strikes Twice is
Tre Mason's 164 rushing yards,
Steven Clark's two punts downed at the 1,
Chris Davis' 10 tackles and an average drive time of less than 2 minutes, 37 seconds -- second-fastest this season.
3. Alabama (1): If Nick Saban wasn't outcoached, then maybe he over-thought things. What if that one second doesn't remain? What if two Bama kickers don't miss four combined field goals? What if those lumbering Tide lineman cover Chris Davis' field goal return? Gus Malzahn's tempo was a big factor too. Ultimately, Bama didn't have an answer.
4. Missouri (6): Who would have thought that
Johnny Manziel's last regular-season game would be an afterthought? Speaking of afterthoughts, the Tigers aren't one in their second SEC season after clinching the East. Gary Pinkel ties Don Faurot for most wins (101) in school history.
5. Ohio State (3): After 24 in a row, Buckeyes face two big questions -- 1) are they the best in the Big Ten; 2) If so, do they deserve a BCS title shot? Michigan State will help answer both.
