Couple that with the fact that the regular season contest between OU and Texas was a highly entertaining game and the plot line to "really decide the issue on the field" between these two might not prompt as many voters to switch their opinions as you theorize. Its not like Texas doesn't command its own pull in the BCS world. Additionally, such a "swing" in votes might cast further disgust upon the system. People would argue it no longer matters, as long as you are near the top, the voters will "place" into the championship game whomever they want. I don't buy your brush off that this isn't concerning you just a tiny bit.

No, it doesn't concern me at all and it's not a very real possibility. Florida has been down in the computer polls all year. They are still 6th overall in the computer rankings. Texas does not play this week so Florida already has that advantage if they win. Additionally, Alabama has 2 #1 computer rankings and a #3. A Florida win over Bama will help their computer ranking tremendously. Florida was ahead of Texas prior to last week when Texas jumped them in the coaches poll (only because of the OU/UT thing). That will be reversed and Florida will be #2 at worst if they're SEC Champs. People wont opt for OU/UT because IT ALREADY HAPPENED just like they didn't opt for OSU/UM in 2006.
