I doubt this gets used very often, especially in the case of a conference non-champion.

Take for example the LSU/Bama rematch. Under this situation, I don't see Bama making the final 4.

However, say that a 3 loss team somehow wins the SEC east and then knocks off a previously undefeated west team in Atlanta, they could certainly use this caveat to put a one loss non-champion in, as the conference champion would have 3 losses and not come anywhere near qualifying.
