What they did have was 2 of the Top 10 ratings for games played that season (not including bowls) which just affirms eyeballs will matter.
So they bump off the team that played in the highest rated game?
Texas isn't exactly way more marketable than Bama. I'd say they're both about equal in national recognition.

#1 was Florida vs Alabama so they got a bump from both teams. #2 was Texas vs Texas Tech so they probably got the majority of that bump from Texas. As for actual football Alabama > Texas but it is reversed when it comes to marketing.
Texas has been #1 in marketing for the last decade or so. Tide was #2 but they have been hot lately, while Texas has been in the dump for the past several years. As for BCs ratings LINK
2005 Texas vs Southern Cal drew 21.7 rating (highest in BCS history)
2009 Texas vs Alabama drew 17.2
Texas probably has more bandwagon folks than Alabama across the country. Seems like I see Texas gear more on the west coast than I see Bama gear.
