The USAToday computer preview has Kansas at No.2, with LSU at 3 and Oregon at 4.
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt07.htm

The USAToday and AP polls just released, have LSU at 2 with a very narrow margin on Oregon and Kansas at 4. Methinks the BCS rankings will have LSU, Oregon, and Kansas all within a game’s reach of each other. LSU should win out, especially if they play Georgia for the SEC championship (thus avoiding the pesky “double win” factor). Doesn’t look like Oregon has anybody left to play that could propel them forward, while Kansas at #9 Missouri could push them ahead of Oregon, but probably not LSU. Sheesh... this is all too much for my brain on a Sunday afternoon.

If Kansas beats OU in the Big 12 Championship Game, they will jump ahead of LSU.

I've been snooping around and as I pointed out in post number 217 of this thread there is a site that shows what it says in the computer rankings and LSU is #2 there.

Harris Interactive is composed of about 115 voters who are listed on their site...too many to research affiliations, but recognized some old names, Pete Dawkins for example. Won the Heisman at Army 50 years ago.

I'm a big LSU fan, and if they ever played a mistake free game I don't think anybody can beat them. But I do admit that if Ohio State, Kansas and LSU win out and LSU is #2 or #1 there will be controversy.
