One more note is that Oklahoma gains nothing in the computer rankings if they beat Missouri. They've already beaten them, so just using W/L, it doesn't help OU at all. Not that they have a chance to win the NC, but still a flaw in the system (as someone else noted earlier in the year).

I doubt this is anywhere near as clear-cut as you think it is. The different computer rankings all use different formulas, most of which are kept private. I'm sure it won't help them as much as if they beat Kansas, but it should still be a sizable boost.

I don't think so. Most use formulas that compare the actual teams as compared to other teams. For example, they look at their opponents' opponents. That doesn't change with playing Missouri again and winning. Oklahoma>Missouri and that wouldn't change.
