Losses shouldn't play as big a role. Show me who you beat that warrants putting you in that game/playoffs. Only when you look at that for 2 teams and its tied do we then look at losses.
The problem with this is that in addition to only having the one loss to the #1 team in OT, Bama absolutely DESTROYED every other team on their schedule. The games even against decent teams weren't even remotely close. Alabama outscored the 3 ranked opponents it played (at the time they were ranked) other than LSU by a combined score of 106-25.
Oklahoma State squeaked out at least 2 games they could have easily lost and the one they did lose was to a 6-7 Iowa State team. Alabama DESTROYED everyone on their schedule and their only loss was in OT was the consensus #1 ranked team. I can't believe LSU fans are actually trying to argue that Okie State clearly had the better team and better resume.

GovT it gives them something else to blame other than their can't cross the 50ydline team and plus they don't have to admit that Bama was the best team when they conjure up the conspiracy cooking pots

They may not have had the better team, but, according to the SUPPOSED BCS formulas, Oklahoma State had the better resume:
OSU played more ranked teams
OSU had an overall stronger SOS
OSU won the championship of their conference
OSU's only loss was on the road in OT.
OSU was also told they all they had to do was 'destroy' Oklahoma and win the Big 12 Title and they would be assured of going to the NCG.
Well they did this. Only problem is, a faction of BCS 'Human Poll Voters' and Coaches voted Oklahoma State....."""""""""""F I F T H"""""""" OR """""""""""" S I X T H """""""""", when every other voter had them second or third !!!!
For whatever reason, this group of people voted CLEARLY the third (if not second) best team FIFTH OR SIXTH. Why ?????????????
They had just slaughtered former #1 Oklahoma by 5 touchdowns, they won their confernece title, and they were 12-1. Their SOS was stronger and they played more winning and bowl teams than Bama.
And you vote them FIFTH OR SIXTH ??????????????
How some of these yahoos got the right to vote in the BCS is mystifying - yet THEY decided who played LSU on Jan. 9 - and they alone....
Even Saban voted OSU FOURTH..... (no doubt to make sure he didn't appear 'biased' which of course he was.)
