I'd say OU is about a 23 point favorite over CU and a 27 point favorite 
over ISU.  Either way I have a bad feeling that if Auburn beats a 9-2 
Tennessee team in the SEC championship, OU will be the odd man out for the 
BCS championship game.

A win over Tennessee would edge Auburn closer to OU in the computer 
rankings and I think the voter sentiment will be theirs since some coaches 
and writers will be thinking "Oklahoma had their chance last year".

I am still wondering why no one is questioning USC's de facto #1 status. 
Again I think the reasoning is more of a correction from last year, than 
because of their merits on the field.
