But a team who doesn't even win their division, does deserve it? I guess you believe that to be the case. OU was 1-1 vs top teams, just like Alabama and had an extra game.

Holy shite. Y'all are really going to be particular about winning your division. 2003 Ole Miss and LSU had identical division record. LSU got blown out at home by a Florida team that Ole Miss defeated. LSU won a close one over Ole Miss on the road. Take from that what you will, but you've got to appreciate Ole Miss losing to Memphis and Texas Tech; one cannot describe how much that helped you r case in the BCS standings.

Also, how can you logically compare a blowout in your conference championship game (last game of the regular season) to a low-scoring OT loss at home the first weekend of November? Neither Oklahoma nor Alabama won their conferences their respective years. Oklahoma State did not play in a conference championship game that season. I don't consider having the best record in a round robin schedule to make you the best. Kansas State and Oklahoma had identical records in the Big 12 last season. Kansas State narrowly won the head to head early in the season but was blown out 52-24 later by a rising Baylor team. Kansas State also benefited from not playing Notre Dame and the cancellation of the Oregon game. I can't comment on whether Notre Dame or Kansas State was the better team, but you cannot deny that Kansas benefited from the canceled Oregon game. Look at the Fiesta Bowl. Oregon blew out Kansas State.
