there still isn't a rule excluding teams that didn't win their conference.




The rule is pretty much an unwritten rule barring some chaotic circumstances that can't avoid it.

And it's a pretty good unwritten rule. Any reasonable person would agree that a team that can't win its own conference doesn't deserve a chance to win the whole enchilada.

the didn't win their conference is not the argument against bama that I like

In a year where you have undefeated teams obviously you choose from those (and those are all obviously at least co-champs in their conference)

In a year where at least one participant in the BCS NCG has at least one loss? I will not make some arbitrary rule to say the in conference loss was more important than the out of conference loss

upsets happen and unless you lost to the #1 team you were upset in the game you lost... whether that was a game that cost you the conference, in conference but did not, or out of conference and had no bearing is an irrelevant issue IMO

IMO conference champion, best team in the conference, and most deserving of making the BCS NCG are all different discussions and potentially different teams
