Condi's term as Secretary of State would also have ended at 12:00, so at that point she wouldn't have fallen anywhere within the chain of command.

Typically they all submit their resignation effective at the end of the term. If the new president wants them to stay on, he'll ask them to do so ahead of time - I'm not sure if they have to be confirmed again, though... Since we haven't heard of that happening, I'm guessing not.
