It would be an interesting trivia question to ask..."Has a team won the BCS Championship and not won their conference?"

No they haven't. And their are only a couple of teams that have played in the Championship game that did not win their conference.

Wasn't Nebraska one? I believe that is when they changed the BCS rules to begin with if I am not mistaken.

Actually;
I believe only Oklahoma & Nebraska have done it...
Ironic, as they may very well be the two teams facing off to play for the Big 12 this season.

Nebraska played in 2001...in favor over Oregon...somethings never change...but they lost. I don't think a non conference champion has ever won the BCS NC.

Arkansas was another one.
But only because Bama was on suspension.
EDIT: THis was a conference championship game...
