I have always said you can't win the National Championship without winning your conference, but I think Texas has a crazy scenario.

I'm normally against it too, but in this case I would have no problem, which is why a rule saying non-conference champions can't go to the BCS would be a mistake

Is there such a rule....or just an unwritten one?

No rule

And there certainly is not an unwritten one. See Nebraska and OU.

So far you are right, you can't win the MNC in the BCS without winning your conference.

Miami 37 v Nebraska 14

LSU 21 v OU 14

Texas would make the Big 12 0-3 in that scenario if they play UF.

If OU loses, and Texas goes that will be the 3rd time a non Big-12 champ has gone. The first 2 times they proved that they did not belong there. If Texas goes and loses, then it could be a 3 strikes your out deal, and we will see a conf. champ requirement in the future.

Or maybe just move to a playoff so we can stop all this stupid bitching.

LSU didn't get screwed. BUT LSU was the HOTTEST team at the end of the year and would have given Miami A much better game than Oregon or Colorado!!! I was talking A playoff!!

Dude - how many times do I have to tell you - We have a playoff. LSU did not make it in 2001.
