LSU won their division and conference both years, and no one got hosed on LSU's behalf.
USC did in 2003, but that's because OU didn't deserve to be there.
Doesn't mean the best match was selected either year. Records have some issues. 1-loss Ohio State had a better win/loss record than everyone else that mattered, but they weren't worthy of a BCS invite. "The Year of the Upset". You're right that Oklahoma did not deserve to be there; that was yet another incorrect selection.
Winning national championships is good, but beating the best if what makes you great. LSU did not play the best possible team in 2003 and 2007 for the national championship. Alabama did not play the best possible opponent after the 2012 season for the national championship.
2008: Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and Texas are in a 3-way tie, but Oklahoma is selected; they lost the BCSNCG 24-14. U.S.C. wasn't bad that year either; they statistically had one of the nation's best defenses.
