NCAAF - Which team will be ranked #2 in the next BCS Standings?

Settled as Texas Longhorns

Texas
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/BCSStandings?week=6

Background:

Entering their game this week Oklahoma was ranked #5 in the BCS Standings..
They faced Texas Tech who was undefeated and ranked #2.

Well, the match-up didn't live up to the hype, as it has been totally one sided with Oklahoma dominating.

Others in top 5 of BCS Standings entering the week + This weeks results:
#1 Alabama (10-0) - Bye
#2 Texas Tech (10-1)- lost to Oklahoma
#3 Texas (10-1)- Bye
#4 Florida (10-1)- beat Citadel 70-19
#5 Oklahoma (10-1)- defeated Texas Tech

Alabama being undefeated will almost certainly remain #1, but which team will be ranked #2....
Will the Idle Texas team move up a spot, or will Florida move up over them to claim it? Or, will the dominating performance by Oklahoma over Texas Tech be enough to leapfrog both Texas and Florida?

Which team will stake claim as the #2 team, according the next BCS Standings?

With two undefeated BCS teams sitting at the top of the polls it was just too clean. Everybody knew the BCS was going to get messy at some point. Now let's hope Missou takes the Big-12 title game to create total chaos. Although what bowl season would be complete without Okla whining about how they got screwed by [insert 2008/9 excuse here]?
