Looking at the computer rankings used for the BCS, obviously not accounting for today's games:
Anderson & Hester
Bama - 3rd
OSU - 2nd
OSU will stay 2nd
Richard Billingsly
Bama - 2nd
OSU - 3rd
The gap here is minimal. I expect OSU to jump Bama to 2nd.
Colley Matrix
Bama - 3rd
OSU - 2nd
OSU will stay 2nd.
Kenneth Massey
Bama - 2nd
OSU - 3rd
The gap is significant, so I doubt OSU jumps bama here.
Sagarin
Bama - 2nd
OSU - 3rd
Decent gap, but I think OSU will jump Bama because they are thrashing the current #4 team in Sagarin's ratings.
Peter Wolfe
Bama - 2nd
OSU - 3rd
Decent gap, but I don't think OSU jumps Bama.
The net effect of this would be felt in the average computer ranking component of the BCS which currently has Bama 2nd and OSU 3rd. OSU will likely jump Bama in the composite of the computer rankings, meaning fewer voters will need to jump OSU over Bama to get them into the BCS title game.
One can only hope the voters are unbiased.
