So Alabama losing to the #1 ranked team in a coin toss OT game is unforgivable because they aren't a conference champion but LSU can lose to a team outside the Top 10 and NOT be a conference champion yet that's just fine and dandy?
The conference champion isn't a rule.. and if ALL teams had one loss, LSU would clearly have the best resume. They'd be considered very heavily.. and probably make it in.
12-1 LSU, multiple top-10 wins
11-1 Bama, one top-15 win.
12-1 Oregon, road win vs top 5 team, pac12 champ
Oklahoma 11-1, road win vs top-5 team, big12 champ
etc

They'd be considered heavily, but it's as if some people just convenienlty think the very last impression will mean nothing to voters. The very last impressions before the final BCS vote in that scenario would be:
1) LSU LOSING to #11 or #12 Georgia
2) Oregon WINNING a Pac 12 championship
3) Oklahoma beating Okie State therefore winning the Big 12 Championship.
4) Oklahoma State beating Oklahoma for the Big 12 Championship.
If #4 occurs, LSU has to hope voters still think a team that lost its last game and DID NOT win its own conference would be more deserving than a team that has won 12 straight games that just won its conference championship.
