By letter, it wasnt. By spirit, it was. Citing previously mentioned examples of 2006 UF/Mich, 2007 LSU/UGA.
Other than Oklahoma in 2003, every team before or after 2011 Alabama has won at least a share of their conference title.
And the outcry against Oklahoma was so great that year that USC was awarded a National Title that year without having played in the actual championship game.
Voters wanted a playoff. They wanted chaos to expedite that goal. And they succeeded in both regards.

Guess OK St shouldn't have lost to a 6-6 team.

2001 Nebraska says hello. They didn't even win their division but played Miami for all the marbles in Pasadena.

In both examples, one team won an extra game. That was the ultimate difference. Big 12 screwed Okie State over by removing their chance at an extra win in the Big 12 title game. That alone would have pushed them ahead of Bama.
