Michigan lost the last game of the season and still are in the top 5 and in the discussion? Has that ever happened before?


Yes. In 2001, Nebraska lost the Big12CG to Colorado 36-62 and then played Miami in the BCSNCG. In 2003, Oklahoma lost the Big12CG to Kansas State 7-35 and then played LSU in the BCSNCG.

Didn't Nebraska get blown out at the end of the 2001 season?

Six teams ended ahead of them in the final polls right?

Sounds like the last season loss should have dropped them more.

Why did USC get left out in 2003? I cannot remember who they lost to but seem to remember people blasting the computer formula that picked the top two.

It is all a game of what ifs, but maybe conference championships should have counted more in matching up the top two?
