Was it a requirement under the BCS to win your conference and/or division?

By letter, it wasnt. By spirit, it was. Citing previously mentioned examples of 2006 UF/Mich, 2007 LSU/UGA.

Other than Oklahoma in 2003, every team before or after 2011 Alabama has won at least a share of their conference title.

And the outcry against Oklahoma was so great that year that USC was awarded a National Title that year without having played in the actual championship game.

Voters wanted a playoff. They wanted chaos to expedite that goal. And they succeeded in both regards.
