why should they get that opporunity

They shouldn't unless their season performance qualifies them as the #2 team. If it does, they should not be penalized simply because they had the misfortune of being on our schedule in the regular season and being in the same division of our conference.

It's pretty simple. The national championship is supposed to match up the top two teams in the country. If you want the #1 team to be awarded the championship without having to play the #2 in the championship game, then just award the national championship after the last week of the regular season/conference championship games and don't bother with the BCS bowls/NC game. Otherwise, deal with the fact that the #2 team gets a shot at the national championship in a championship game, and it doesn't matter whether they've already played and lost to the #1 team or not.

In theory at least, if several teams with one loss are in contention for the 2nd BCSNCG spot, shouldn't a team whose loss is to the #1 team be more deserving than a team who lost to a lesser team?
