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.

USC may well have whipped LSU in the dome that year. They were, in the words of Les Miles, undefeated in regulation. The computers are flawed, and always have been. It's the primary reason that the BCS is being shelved, and rightfully so.
