Brett's 2006 Wisconsin team finished 12-1, tied with Michigan for 2nd in the big10 (Wisconsin did not play Ohio St. that year) Ohio St. played in the NCG and Michigan was selected to play in the Rose Bowl.
Apples to oranges. The BCS gets to pick the at-large team from the conference...In the SEC, the higher ranked team may get the at-large bid. Last year, Florida got the at-large bid over Georgia (who actually won the East and had the head-to head over UF)...similar situation.
I figured out what part of their formula knocked Saban down...I just don't agree with their premise.

Huh? You obviously do not know how bowl selection works.
Michigan St. could have been selected to the Rose Bowl in 2010, the Rose Bowl chose Wisconsin, both were Co-Champions in the big10 that year. Things changed last year with the installment of the Championship game which Wisconsin won and earn the Rose Bowl trip.
You Georgia example is no different than LSU sitting at home during the SEC-CG and then being selected over Arkansas, who played for the championship, to go to the Sugar Bowl. The year Carolina made it and lost they fell all the way to the Chic-fil-a Bowl, this has always been the result of losing the conference championship game in every conference, the only exception would be 0U the year they lost and then were destroyed by SC.
