Okie State I think had an advantage in both those stats in 2011. They may have put Bama in based on the eye test, but Okie State had a better schedule and more wins over good teams

I agree with this. You may recall that the computers preferred Oklahoma State but the humans preferred Alabama, I think largely based on reputation. I think the team from Norman would gotten more respect than the team from Stillwater if they had the same resume.

No question. If Mississippi State had been in Bama's position and Texas had been in Okie Lite's position, we would have laid an egg against the sips.
