And back to my point I've made to several people in several threads without resonse: If Bama was so obviously more deserving, why did the computers (which compared strength of schedules, records vs. ranked teams, etc. ) favor Okie?
Because rankings were putting a 4 loss Texas team in the top 25 and keeping other Big 12 teams in the top 25, despite the fact, over half that conference had defenses ranked in the 100's in defensive categories.

Well, IMO the computers (3 of 5 IIRC) compared far more objecive accomplishments than did the human voters. According to the computers, at the end of the regular season, Okie had a stronger SOS, beat more then-currently ranked teams, and won their conference after thumping former #1 OU. Yet Okie deserved to be voted 4th (by Saban) and 6th by other human voters?
IMO, at best the objective comparison was a push, and Bama should've been excluded since they failed to win their conference, and didn't deserve the chance to top the team that did.
