If all the other SEC teams win yeah.

I doubt ND falls from the top five, no matter the score.

The winner of the Oregon/Kansas State is a lock to finish in the top 5 so the easy answer to your question is no.

No. Bama will win the BCSNC and ND will be #1 in the AP.

I could see Bama 1 and Florida 2, but after that 3 and 4 would probably be ND and the K-State/Oregon winner.

No, ND is dropping below 4. Alabama, Florida, and Oregon if they win would be the teams with a chance to finish ahead of ND.
And yea if KState beats Oregon they'll be top 5.
Basically the final top 5 will likely be (in no particular order) Alabama, Notre Dame, Florida (if they win), winner of Oregon/KSU, and then a fifth TBD team. LSU, Stanford, A&M, Oklahoma, and Georgia could all fit depending on how the bowls unfold.

K State/Oregon winner #3 unless NC is very close, then #4.

Even if ND gets beat 500-0 there will be idiots in the media that will still vote them number 1 over Bama

Also, keep this in mind. Oklahoma lost to USC 55-19 in 2004, Ohio State lost to Florida 41-14 in 2006 and Florida lost to Nebraska 62-24 in '95. Oklahoma and Ohio State finished the season third in the polls while Florida finished second. Those three games were three of the most vicious beatings you'll ever see on a football field and none of the teams that lost dropped lower than third in the polls. There's no way Notre Dame drops out of the top 5 no matter how badly they lose.

LSU only dropped to #2 last year when Alabama blew them out. Doubt they will drop out of top 5.

I agree. The one thing different this year is the common opponent strength of the SEC. With one loss, the computer will really knock on ND, and since Bama had very close games with LSU and UGA, who had very close games or were beaten by USC, and UF, I would think that this would be the year to do it.

There is no final BCS poll. The bcs just sets up 1 and 2.
So the computers will not hurt Notre dame if they lose
