Only 3 major conference teams finished undefeated in 2009 (pre-bowls): Texas, Alabama, & Cincinnati. I use the term "major conference" loosely because the Big East was about to lose its automatic qualifier status. They were a mid-major conference in all but name.

Boise State was WAC, TCU was MWC.

Far from your doomsday scenario of 5 undefeated P5 teams (and an undefeated ND). Hell, Texas & Alabama were both incredibly fortunate to be undefeated that year, too.

Your scenario will never happen.

The question was "when did this come close to happening?"

2009. That's close.
