That being said, if you don't enjoy the LSU/Bama game next week, you can always catch the rematch in January.  |
There's no rule stating that 2 teams from the same conference can't play for the NCG, it's whoever is ranked #1 and #2 at the end of the year. It's highly unlikely they'll come from the same conference though. Take '06 for example. OSU was #1 and Michigan was #2, both 11-0. OSU beat Michigan in the final week. Florida finished the season with 1 loss also, but Michigan's 1 loss was on the road to the wire to wire #1 team by 3 points. Didn't matter. There was no way they were going to send 2 teams from the same conference to the title game. Florida jumped Michigan and the rest is history.

Nebraska definitely saw greener pastures with the money and stability of the Big10. Maybe they saw the writing on the wall? Beebe ran the conference horribly. Despite some down years they are a traditional powerhouse and they'll be fine.
