What if the SEC, Big 12, and Pac Ten champs are undefeated…
16 September 2008A fan emailed us at College Football Live today and asked a terrific hypothetical question: If the champions of the SEC, Big 12, and Pac Ten all go undefeated this year, which one would be left out of the BCS Championship Game?
If an undefeated USC wins the Pac Ten, they’re in. That leaves an awkward choice, since the SEC and Big 12 are clearly the two strongest conferences in the nation.
While voters aren’t supposed to look at the past to evaluate the present, they are human. And the past does indicate a clear path forward in a choice such as this.
The Big 12 champion has lost the last two Fiesta Bowls. The SEC champion has won the last two BCS Championship Games. If one conference gets the benefit of the doubt, it has to be the SEC.
