    Worst case in the human polls is 3rd in both. If it's a close loss, I still think they will remain 1st in both human polls.

    They will remain 1st in all 7 computer polls, due to the fact that they are so far ahead of everyone.

    Their BCS score (worst case) will be 3.0 (human) + 1.0 (computer) + .40 (SOS) - .60 (QW) + 1 (Loss) = 4.80

    This will be enough to fend off USC and LSU who will lower their results to about 6.1-6.3 range.

    So here is what the BCS fears most. 3 1-loss teams, and one of the teams makes it to the NC without even winning their conference championship. Quite a mess.

    For LSU fans, I don't see OU losing helping us, and in fact it could hurt us. If OU wedges themselves between USC and LSU in the human polls at #2, then LSU is out of luck. Even if that doesn't happen, LSU would lose it's QW for Georgia, since Kansas State would end up ahead of Georgia in 10th place in the BCS. Could you imagine if Syracuse and Boise State come through for LSU but Kansas State beats OU and screws it all up for us?

    It could work out well for us if one of the polls puts us at no.1. It could be possible because they don't want to drop usc to put lsu higher, but maybe if they didn't have to drop usc... (wishfull thinking)
