The rule of 2 teams in BCS bowls from one conference does not apply to automatic qualifiers. Number 1, number 2, and the SECCG winner are all automatic qualifiers. I have heard this discussed in the past.
They can take 3 teams if the number 1 and 2 somehow didn't win their conference and are from the same conference.
BCS selection procedures Look under At-large eligibility, 2nd paragraph Stupid phucking website here won't let me cut and paste it
Ty... Here ya go: 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.
I got a better one for ya Izzy: LSU loses to Arky (Drop to #3) Bama loses to UGA (LSU moves up to #2) LSU vs. Arky for the national title with none having won the conference or even the SEC west.
