There is another issue with the "you must win your own conference" debate. The BCS can't tell the conferences how to crown a champion. If you make that a rule, then the SEC/Big12, etc. just change their rules to make it more BCS friendly. Hell, The Big12 might still have a "championship game" and then say "our official champion is the team with the highest BCS rating"

If this had been in place in 2001, FL would have been named the SEC champion and would have gotten the Sugar; TN would most certainly have received the at-large bid; and LSU prob the Citrus. Do you seriously think this kind of crap would be put up with for a fairly rare occurence? Could the CGs survive? I think this is a lot of hyperbole for effect.

I'm not worried about nonCG conferences implementing this either. I don't think a team with a worse conf record getting the BCS bid will go over big with them either. Not worried about ND. If it actually proved to be an unfair advantage to be independent, something could be done to negate it.

Not winning your championship should be disqualifying if your conf champion doesn't also go. I don't care if it happens to a team with the record of OK. I view the entire season as a playoff and winning the conf is just the first round.
