There are six remaining unbeaten teams and four of them seem to be viable national title contenders. We look at those four and five others who could enter the BCS discussion.

You used Sagarin's rankings, but not his SOS rankings. That is inconsistent. Also for the sake of discussion I would have gone with the Sagarin predictor rankings, over the elo chess. For example a team like Florida st is ranked #32 in the elo chess, but #10 in the predictor. His algorithm was designed to factor MOV into it.

probably just an overlook then as you have Kansas St's SOS ranked 3rd instead of 33rd.
