In 2001 the Nebraska football team did not even make the Big Twelve championship game after losing to Colorado 62-36 in the final contest of the regular season and still went on to play in the national championship. Nebraska lost 37-14 against Miami in the national championship.

Can an NCAA team lose its conference championship and still win the national championship?

Basketball: The national championship in the NCAA is decided by a bracket-based playoff system. If the team qualifies for the event on Selection Sunday, they have the same chance as anyone else in the event: 1 in 65 Football: The BCS system is based on statistical analysis and (in no small part) on the opinions of sports writers from various polls. These polls are based on human opinion, so if a team lost by an acceptable amount in the championship game and was anticipated to go to the national championship, the polls and stats could combine to make it happen.

Is the Rose Bowl required to take Big Ten runner-up Michigan if they don't play in the national championship?

Every year the Rose Bowl game is played between the number 1 team in the Pac 10 conference and the number 1 team in the Big 10. If the number 1 team in either conference is chosen to go to the National Championship then the number2 team in that conference goes to the Rose Bowl....EXAMPLE : Big 10 conference standing,,,,,1. Ohio State 2. Michigan. 3. Michigan State 4. Penn State 5. Iowa 6. Purdue 7. Northwestern 8. Indiana 9. Minnesota 10. Wisconsin 11. Illinois...In a normal situation Ohio State would go to the Rose Bowl, but suppose that Ohio State was chosen to go to the National Championship, then Michigan would be the team from the Big 10 to go to the Rose Bowl to play the winner of the Pac 10 conference unless the winner in that was also chosen to go to the National Championship, then the number 2 would go.
