Agreed, Oklahoma State finished 11th in the final AP poll for 1988(10-2), it would have been highway robbery if he hadn't won. The other 4 finalists all had teams that finished ranked higher than OSU that year.
Peete (USC-7)
Aikman(UCLA-6)
Walsh(Miami-2)
Harris(WVU-5)
Obviously, there are other examples, but that season would have been a glaring omission.
