You need 2 teams who aren't the conference champion to play in the BCSNCG.

This would only be possible in a situation where the SEC champ had sucked in non-conf play, dropping a few games. Say Bama went undefeated all year and lost to South Carolina in the SECCG. South Carolina is a 3 loss team, dropping 3 non conf games but ran through the SEC west undefeated which is why they are the champion. Florida is undefeated, save for one conference loss to the Gamecocks.
You could have 1-loss Bama and 1-loss Florida in the BCSNCG, with 3-loss South Carolina in the Sugar Bowl.

No more than two teams from a conference may be selected, regardless of whether they are automatic qualifiers or at-large selections, unless two non-champions from the same conference are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS Standings.
As crazy as it sounds, that is the only you can have 3 teams from one conference in the BCS.
