Time to play another what if college football game

I launched this exercise a couple of weeks ago with my first such college football scenario, but that one was almost insignifcant compared to today's edition.

There are still nine undefeated teams in the AP Top 10. But two thirds of them are members of either the Southeastern Conference or the Big 12, both of whom show an inclination to devour their young. Those two conferences are so tough it's difficult to imagine anyone going through their respective regular season and conference championship games and coming out the other side undefeated. The last two years a team from the SEC won the BCS championship game after making into the game by default. Last year, LSU won it with two losses on its record.

So for the sake of argument, let's assume in this what if game that somewhere, somehow during this long season each of those six teams -- Oklahoma, Alabama, LSU, Missouri, Texas and Texas Tech -- lose at least one game. There's a very high probability of that happening. No. 6-ranked Penn State still has road games it must play against Wisconsin and Ohio State, so it's not stretching it to say they won't finish undefeated.

That leaves us with two teams that have an excellent chance of running the table -- No. 8 Brigham Young and No. 10 South Florida. My question is how would the public feel if BYU and South Central played for the national championship while a one-loss Big 12 or SEC school was denied the opportunity? It could happen.
