At the end of the 2006 Regular season, OSU was #1, followed by USC at #2 Michigan at #3, and Florida at #4. USC lost and fell to #5 behind LSU.
Florida beat Arkansas in the SECCG and jumped Michigan, who was idle, to #2 in the BCS for the right to play in the NC. Michigan, in essence was penalized for not ending the season with a win against a highly ranked opponent in a Conference Championship.
Fast forward to 2011, LSU was #1, followed by Oklahoma State at #2, and Alabama at #3. Oklahoma State lays an egg against Iowa State and drops to #3. Then, as Alabama sits idle, Oklahoma State proceeds to destroy the 13th ranked Oklahoma Sooners by a score of 44-10 and earn the Big 12 Championship.
The two situations couldn't be more contradictory.
