That's exactly right. OSU got a chunk of second place votes, so this is not an all 2nd place type of thing.

We knew Okie State would move up to at least #3 -- especially with VaTech losing and Stanford not playing. But we didn't know if they'd move to #2 or #3. Look, if the Harris Poll also has Alabama #2 and Okie State #3, that's 2/3 of the equation -- and Okie State would be required to have a substantial advantage in the computers to overtake that -- and considering the computers also had Alabama #2 last week, it's hard to imagine they'd fall much.
I don't know how OSU could end up #3 in the Coaches, #3 in the Harris, and even #2 in the computers -- and overtake Alabama in the BCS -- regardless of the points. They need to move up to #2 in the Harris and/or have Alabama drop in the computers. Yes, Okie State is still alive at this point -- but also AT THIS POINT, Alabama would be in. Something is going to have to change in the other two components.
Human preception and biasis and that is what is wrong here....like it or not....
The Harris Poll I expect to be the same.....computers who knows....
This just may blow up in the BCS face this year as there are going to be allot of upset people and rightfully so.....

HUH? I was talking about Nebraska and where we end up....and our preseason ranking....go back and read what I wrote again....nothing about Oklahoma State....

How does it mean "allot" (assuming you mean, "a lot") for preseason rankings? Nebraska finished 19/20 in 2010 (lost 3 of their 4 final games) -- and was still preseason 10/11 this season. And what exactly do preseason polls mean for Nebraska? If the Huskers go undefeated in 2012 (as I know already you will predict), they'll be in the BCS Championship game.

Preseason ranking really doesn't mean all that much. We'll be in or near the Top 25, and if we take care of business on the field next year, everything else will work itself out. All of the teams that think they should be #2 could have guaranteed themselves a spot if they hadn't lost games throughout the season.

Absolutely correct. That goes for just about any team in a BCS conference. Even teams like Baylor and K-State, who started this season well outside the Top 25, would have been in the BCS championship game if they had gone undefeated.
I would like to be highly ranked in the preseason as well, but there are countless examples that show that it really doesn't matter.
