So Nebraska, Texas, Colorado and Oklahoma State are bad teams?

Nebraska is questionable, we'll see how they pan out as the season progresses.
Two non-Div IA team shouldn't count (and only one would count as per BCS rules).
California is #59 (of 117, according to
CFRC), Troy State is #88, they lost to #74 Marshall, and they get #110 Baylor on November 1.
The BCS SOS (strength of schedule) of all known opponents for this season is 0.5005 as of the start of today's games, which is good for #54 overall and 2.16 BCS points right off the bat. Their computer average for the 4 BCS computer polls currently available is 13.75, and losing to Marshall will send that into near-freefall.
Texas already lost to Arkansas, and Colorado has already lost to Washington State. Either of those teams losing once or twice more isn't inconceivable.
Barring all other potential contenders collecting 2 losses, Kansas State is - for all intents and purposes - eliminated from the National Championship picture, even if they win all other games.
