OSU really is not in that bad of shape. You figure if they win out, that gives them wins over current #4 and #11. Two "impressive" victories (at least for the computers). Moreover, Iowa and Penn State would surely drop behind OSU in the rankings, thus moving OSU up at least two spots. Then, if LSU loses to Alabama (likely), Cincinnati still has to play Pitt (so one of them will surely drop; plus Cincy still has WVU & Illinois), TCU has to play Utah (one of them will surely drop), and Ga Tech loses to Georgia (50-50). That's six to seven spots the Buckeyes would at least move up if they can manage to win out.
OSU is currently sitting at #16 in the BCS. Figure they win out, and the scenarios above play out (which has a very solid chance of happening), then you have to figure OSU winds up somewhere around #8 to #11. I'd say that's just about high enough for an at-large. #8, definitely. #11, that's stretching it a bit.
