Look, I think you guys deserve to be #3. The human polls will probably have you at #3 total points, but the computers, ahh those damn computers, will have OSU as probably the #2 team behind LSU. Since OSU is likely to be #4 in the human polls, they could slide ahead of Arky in the BCS. I think it will be very, very close. Arky could wind up #3, but I just hope Arky fans understand the system and don't blow their shite tomorrow night.
The human players care about how recent the loss was, but to the computers, OSU losing to Iowa State on Friday is just as important as losing to Iowa State on the opening weekend. OSU will definitely be ahead of Arky in the polls, and probably Alabama as well. Although OSU doesn't have a really big win like Bama does over Arky, they do have a more sound resume top to bottom, and Kansas State is a respectable win in the computers' eyes.
Prayers sent to the admins tomorrow night.
ETA: Well, it appears that Arkansas will have #3 wrapped up pretty easily. OSU simply had a free fall in the polls, despite the other teams losing. OSU's going to have about .1300 to make up on Arkansas, and the computers will only give them .0800 or so. Congratulations Arkansas. Enjoy it until Friday.

Oh I understand the system could frick us 
But if we are #3 in the two human polls that count then that is 66% of what controls the BCS ranking...IDK shite is wild right now.

OSU will fall at least 6 spots in the human polls.

Okie State was tied for #1 in computers last week. The loss drops them, but everybody else in the top 10 lost. They might be #4 in the polls, but a bit higher in the computers. Not sure if that will carry them up a spot. I guess we'll see tomorrow night.

If you say that, then you have NO clue how the BCS works.
I can tell you what the computers will most likely do, and that will most likely screw Arkansas. Its not a flame of any kind, its the truth.

It has already happened to a team in the SEC who lost in OT at home. Just saying.

Even with all those other teams in the top five losing? I could see them dropping to five. If no other top five team lost then I would agree with you.

we lost to bama when they were number 1 not Iowa State when they were number 85

you have a couple of people trying to convince themselves that Okie state is going to drop 1 spot after having the worst lost of 4 top 10 teams this week
