I think Bedlam being next week will make people forget that it's not a real conference championship game, and will negate VaTech's perceived advantage of winning the extra game there.

Just running some quick numbers IF (0% chance of being exactly the same) the Harris and Coaches Poll mirrored the AP this is what the BCS Standings would look like tonight.
(I also had to do some guesswork with computers so they will be a tad bit off, but just so you can see with the percentage of poll votes)

1. LSU 1.000
2. Alabama 0.947
3. Oklahoma State 0.891
4. Stanford 0.806
5. Virginia Tech 0.798

Also, you have to keep in mind West coast voters. You would think they would get behind Stanford; however, they have to be smart enough to know that ultimately it hurts the chance of anyone outside of Bama getting in if second place votes get split up between other one loss teams in OSU, Stanford, and Tech.

It's a lot like politics, they know whose back to scratch and whose bills to pass if they want to get re-elected or in this case unseat the incumbent or favorite in Bama. Although, Va Tech should have an argument if they win big over Clemson, everyone knows they don't have computer score to have any realistic shot.

Part of me thinks if OSU wins with style, regardless of what Tech does then they still have a shot because voters are smart enough to get behind OSU if they really don't want to see a rematch.
