Combination of the teams with the worst records/least history

Results we need:
Oregon loses to Oregon State
Oklahoma loses to Oklahoma State
Auburn loses to South Carolina in SEC Championship
VT loses to FSU in ACC Championship
Nebraska loses to Oklahoma State in Big 12 Championship

Champions:
ACC-Florida State
Big East-UConn
Big Ten-Wisconsin
Big 12-Okie State
Pac 10-Oregon
SEC-South Carolina
At large-TCU
At large-Auburn
At large-Stanford
At large-??? (Missouri?)

Losses:
Oregon to OSU
Oklahoma to Okie State
Auburn to South Carolina in SEC Championship
VT to FSU in ACC Championship
Neb to Ok State in Big 12 Championship

Arkansas and LSU left out; too many SEC teams. Michigan State can’t get in, too many Big 10 teams. OU (or really Okie State, they’re interchangeable almost) and Nebraska lose, as does Virginia Tech. That leaves the BCS with the choice between 3-loss Texas A&M, 2-loss Missouri, or friggin’ 1-loss Nevada.

Now, the Rose Bowl picks the first at-large because they lost a team to the national championship game (Wisconsin). They could take Stanford, but that'd be a conference game rematch, so they'll take Auburn. Then, the predetermined order is Sugar, Orange, Fiesta.

Sugar takes Stanford, easy choice.

Orange takes Missouri, because nobody wants shitty UConn. Fiesta gets stuck with 'em.

The Bowls:
National Championship: TCU vs. Wisconsin (they get in over Stanford with voter bump for winning conference), aka least watched championship ever
Sugar Bowl: South Carolina vs. Stanford
Orange Bowl: Florida State vs. Missouri
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. Auburn
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma State vs. UConn, aka least watched BCS game ever

impossible, because it generates discussion and interest.

True. I'm talking more about this season's BCS. Get a couple more seasons like this hypothetical one and people will beg for a playoff.

You're missing a certain team from Ohio that will foil your plan.

People have been begging for a playoff for a good 4-5 years now and nothing has been close to changing.

Actually, hmm. Throw OSU in, and the Rose probably takes them. Then the Sugar Bowl could take, um, Auburn? But that'd be a SEC Championship rematch, so they would take Stanford. Orange takes Auburn, UConn goes to Fiesta.


Sugar Bowl: South Carolina vs. Stanford
Orange Bowl: Florida State vs. Auburn
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. Ohio State
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma State vs. UConn, aka least watched BCS game ever

Not as bad, but meh.

So just have a very mediocre season where there are multiple loss teams in all the BCS games, like 2007?

Sugar Bowl: South Carolina vs. Stanford
Orange Bowl: Florida State vs. Missouri

I dropped $1130 for two 50 yard line tickets for both the Fiesta Bowl and BCS NC Game... if these were the two matchups I got, I would be pissed.

I am praying for Oregon/Auburn obviously... and then I want to see Oklahoma State vs Stanford. As long as UCONN doesn't end up out here it shouldn't be too terrible.
