A similar situation is creeping closer and closer this season. Texas and Alabama have a few tests left, but have gotten past their toughest opponents (Oklahoma and Georgia, respectively). Penn State's remaining schedule has a combined record of 15-10. They also don't have to play in a conference championship game.
Three undefeated BCS conference teams is a very real possibility. But let's say Bama or Texas lose a game. Wouldn't their victories over multiple tough opponents earn them a spot in the title game?
My point is that Texas, Alabama, and Penn State could all finish the season deserving a title shot. Yet the BCS system is so inflexible that it doesn't allow for this to happen.
There could be 4 undefeated non-BCS teams this season. Ball State, Boise State, Tulsa, and Utah can all run the table. None of them will make the national title game. But all any team can do is win all of their games. In no other sport, college or professional, is it possible for there to be an undefeated/untied team that is NOT the champion.
The BCS system is completely worthless. No man, no computer, and no combination of the two can determine the best 2 teams out of 120. Prepare for another bowl season with a somewhat illegitimate national champion, or even co-champions.
