There is nothing that warrants placing USC ahead of Texas this year. And thus, USC will not jump Texas in the BCS standings. USC is where they should be at #5.
Also, the unthinkable (Missouri beating Oklahoma) does not have to occur to have the BCS messed up even further. There is a chance that Texas could jump Oklahoma in the BCS standings, even with an Oklahoma win over Missouri. Oklahoma could fall just enough in the computer rankings (by virtue of having to play Missouri) that Texas could nudge them out in the overall BCS average. Texas is still favored overall by the voters over Oklahoma.
I would be interested in knowing which two coaches voted Oklahoma #1 in the latest coaches poll. If these votes hold, we will know shortly (we know one).
I think we are likely to see a Florida - Oklahoma title game, with Texas having an outside shot.
