After 2003 when media darling USC was left out, the human factor was enhanced so that it can overwhelm any half-way objective computer factors. If I'm not mistaken some voters put Okie State as low as #5 (!) after they won their conference, and the collective human rankings lifted Bama to #2

Correct. But Bama got to #2 mostly because the media/voters simply thought they were one of the best teams, without much further analysis.
Andy Staples of SI.com wrote an article on very questionable final voting, saying a pall was cast over the BCS title game rematch leaving few people happy, and to blame voters who "protected the status quo". He also noted that voters who "couldn't be bothered to notice even massive blowouts played a key role in deciding who will play for the national title", and questioned why several voters put OSU anywhere from 4-6.
I guess Staples also has "tiny-dick inferiority complex."
