I first proposed a BCS playoff system after the 2008 season, which I then revisited in 2009 and 2010 to show what the matchups would look like. So without further adieu, here is what this season's conference championships and BCS standings would give us.
Conference Champions (with the final BCS ranking in parentheses)
ACC - Clemson (15)
Big East - West Virginia (23)
Big Ten - Wisconsin (10)
Big 12 - Oklahoma State (3)
PAC 12 - Oregon (5)
SEC - LSU (1)
At-large teams
Alabama (2)
Boise State (7) - based on being a mid-major team within the top ten.
Since Boise State would qualify as a mid-major team in the top ten, this would mean Stanford is out of Luck (pun intended).
#1 LSU vs. #8 West Virginia (Sugar Bowl)
#2 Alabama vs. #7 Clemson (Orange Bowl)
#3 Oklahoma State vs. #6 Wisconsin (Fiesta Bowl)
#4 Oregon vs. #5 Boise State (Rose Bowl)
We could still potentially see an Alabama vs. LSU national championship game but how much more legitimate would it be if those two teams had to play through Oklahoma State and Oregon to get there?
