2011 Alabama by far.

1. The polls were manipulated ridiculously by the voters for their own agendas which was obvious from the final polling.

2. The #2 team in the country won the conference, beat Alabama in their house, and finished with more wins against probably one of the most difficult schedules of all time.

3. The team they got in over for the NC had 3 wins in the regular season over teams that finished in the top 20 and they won a major conference. Alabama had one win over one ranked team and didn't win their division.

My other teams would be 2006 OSU just because they didn't play Wisconsin due to the stupid scheduling format, PSU didn't really beat anyone, Michigan got beat down in the Rose Bowl also. Very strange sequence of events for the Big 10.

Then I would say Auburn 2010 just because I didn't really think that team was that strong with out Cam Newton. I don't think a player has ever carried a team so much. I didn't really feel they would make a bowl game if he had an average replacement.

Also 2002 OSU because they didn't seem very dominant and then beat what appeared to be the best team of the BCS era.

I don't blame LSU fans for still being upset about it, that was complete nonsense that Bama was given that mulligan. If you remove the state from OSU, and it were just Oklahoma, no way does Bama get in ahead of them.
