(yes, they are already #2 in teh computers but the margins will change slightly in their favor)
Computers aren't like the human polls where there are percentages taken. In the computers, if you're #2 you're #2 and if you're #3 you're #3. Oklahoma St is already #2, they can't pull away more from Alabama by becoming a "stronger" #2 if they beat OU.

you misunderstand the system
it is absolutely not an integral ranking.

Ok State currently trails Alabama in teh Sagarin and Wolfe. If they pass them in both (which they would if they beat OU and LSU holds serve against Arky) they will gain a larger margin on Alabama in the computer rankings component of the BCS formula

False.
Right now, OSu is 2/2/2/3, and Bama is 3/3/3/2. If that last one is switched, they become a stronger 2 then they currently are.
