Auburn scheduled a div II team that year. BCS doesn't recognize this as a real win ... which it isn't. As far as I'm concerned USC is the only maybe arguement.
TCu and Va Tech should be out every year, one problem I have is that we consider the Mtn West and MAC in the same relm as the SEC and Big Ten. That's insane, nobody in their right state of mind would tell you that the players in these conferences are anywhere near the caliber of the top divisions, yet when they run the table everyone says they've been screwed out of a NC.
As for this year, it's highly unlikely that all 6 will run through. Even you got to admit your scenario is highly unlikely, but if it did, WV doesn't count cause they are in a cupcake conference, they'll have one quality win ... big deal. So we'd be down to Auburn, USC and OSU so ya, someone would be screwed ... and it would probably be Auburn, can't turn down OSU for scheduling Texas, and it's tough to knock USC for scheduling Nebraska.
As for a playoff, to me, a playoff wrecks the best playoffs in all of sports, it's just that the NCAA calls it a regular season.
The games yesterday would not have meant much if they had a playoff.
Lastly, NC is a big focus to us, but in those conferences, much of the emphasis is on the conf championship, the NC gets lots of media time, but it's not the end all and be all to the teams.
As for a NC request, I'll take OSU vs USC ... I saw OSU cream ND last year, and would love to see them knock of USC this year.
