Oklahoma State got screwed over by the human polls that year.
Same record, slightly tougher schedule on OSU's part, but the margin/ratio of victory was insanely in Alabama's favor. Bama scored 4.08 times as much as their opponents; Oklahoma State scored 1.91 times as much as their opponents. This is because Alabama was better.

That's not a logical way of looking at it. Alabama had the better defense, but OSU had the better offense, and ratioing the scores will always favor the team with the better defense. A fairer way to look at it would be to compare margins of victory, not ratios, while remembering that OSU had a tougher schedule.
