DALLAS -- After a wild day of football only one thing is certain. No. 1 Miami clinched a Rose Bowl berth. After that, it's a pick-'em for the No. 2 position in the Bowl Championship Series. Nebraska and Tennessee seemingly will occupy the 2-3 spots when the new BCS ratings are released Monday. But as of Saturday night, the order of the teams below Miami isn't certain. Best guess: Miami, followed by Nebraska at No. 2 with a slight lead over No. 3 Tennessee. It was not immediately clear if Tennessee would pass Nebraska with a victory in the SEC title game. Nebraska completed its season Nov. 23. That's right. Nebraska (11-1) could hang on to the No. 2 spot 15 days after it stopped playing. Tennessee moved into Rose Bowl contention with its 34-32 victory over Florida. Colorado's upset victory over Texas in the Big 12 Championship game allowed Nebraska back into the race. Tennessee started the day No. 6 in the BCS but should move up to at least No. 3. The Vols' victory over No. 2 Florida will vault them up to at least No. 3 from No. 5 in both human polls. Nebraska, No. 4 in the BCS, had both teams immediately above it lose -- Florida and Texas. It might come down to less than a point for the No. 2 BCS spot. Whatever the result this week, Tennessee has to win Saturday against LSU in the SEC title game to have a shot at the Rose Bowl.
