But I think we see Missouri at either No. 5 or No. 6 in the BCS standings today, with a slim margin either way. Win next week vs. aTm, and I think they jump Clemson regardless. Either Auburn or Alabama is going to lose and fall below Mizzou (likely).

I don't see a way 11-1 Mizzou is less than 4th in the BCS at this time next week. Beat Alabama, and I think they've got a good shot to get into the No. 2 spot.

Of course, Michigan State could just help Mizzou out and knock off Ohio State in the B1G championship game and remove any debate.
Basically Mizzou needs

1. Mizzou beats aTm
2. Auburn to lose to Alabama
3. tOSU lose to either Michigan or Michigan State
4. SC beat Clemson
5. Mizzou beat Alabama in the SECCG

I don't see FSU losing to anyone left on their schedule as long as they don't lose Winston. Basically if the above scenarios happen (the top 3 are highly possible, the 4th, not so much), Missouri could end up in the BCS championship game. They could probably get a BCS game if the above happens and they are at least competitive against Alabama.
