There was no debate on that except from OSU fans and folks who don't like the SEC.

Nonsense. I have no particular animus for the SEC nor do I even like Oklahoma State. I still maintain that they were robbed of their chance by a flawed system, and the computers agree with me, though the sportswriters don't. (And on the whole, I have more use for computers than sportswriters.)

You’re the one spreading the nonsense. A team loses to a third rate opponent and then should be in the national championship game?

OSU had a clear path and blew it, and had wins over what were proved at the end of the season to be overrated opponents. Remember that great, early season clash between #1 Oklahoma and #5 FSU? And ranked Texas? And how does KSU now look after their game with Arkansas, which Bama beat by four touchdowns?

Looking at the full year including the bowl results shows which teams were overrated due to weak opponents.

The SEC fans would agree with you if you brought up the 2004 exclusion of Auburn (12-0) from the BCS title game where USC (now disqualified) played Oklahoma. Man, there was much whining on the FR boards that year.
