The computer rankings used in the BCS formula are not allowed to take MOV into consideration. Which is complete nonsense, and defeats the whole purpose of having a computer rankings.
The disaster that was 2003 (Oklahoma getting beaten by 28 points in the Big 12 title game and still being #1) was a direct result of the computers using margin of victory, which was why it was removed from the equation.

I thought the issue was SOS. They took the quality win bonus out of the formula.
Plus the real controversy was that a media darling got left out, and the pollsters were butthurt about it so they arranged it for the voters to override objective data.
