If LSU is #3 when they (if) they lose to Bama, AND under those circumstances, LSU would have three weeks to climb back up in the polls from #7 or #8 to #4 or #5. Bama would still be #2, but losing handily to a two-loss Georgia team which drops them below LSU. Missouri would be #3 or #4 and loses to Oklahoma. USC would be the other team, jumping to #2 in the human polls and LSU climbs to #3. If you look at the current rankings and schedules, this can be the case.
Of course, LSU could just as easily be in the same flip-flop position, beat Georgia in the regular season and lose to them in the SEC CG. Bama, with a lone loss to LSU would jump LSU then in the final polls to set the BCS schedule.
IMO, USC would play OU in that scenario. The pollsters would find a way to make sure that USC would be #2 in the BCS. As much as LSU or Bama would deserve it, I don't think either one would go because of not winning their conference.
Mark my words, the human polls will have USC at #1 to give them more leverage in the BCS if that were to happen. USC has to lose again for them to be completely out of the NC picture.
