Back then a team could have 2 losses, win the conference, and still be in the conversation for a national title, depending on how the bowl games turned out. Seems like you were rewarded for playing a strong OOC schedule and not punished as much for losing one of those games.
Rewarded for a strong non-conference schedule, yes. A chance to win the national title with 2 losses, no.
After the 2007 season, LSU won the BCS title, with a 12-2 record, and was voted #1 in the AP poll. That is the only time in the history of the AP poll that the #1 team in the final poll had more than one loss. Never happened before the BCS.
By the way, both of LSU's losses in the 2007 season were in triple overtime.
We really ought to still have ties until the post season.
