If the BCS determined the Super Bowl

[raidersbball20]

It would be a weird system. They would take into consideration all the top teams in the divisions, then decide who has the toughest division and schedule. So a team with a 12-4 record could go over a 13-3 team possibly if they had a tougher division and schedule

This years would be the winner of this weeks monday nighter vs. the Colts.

1999: Cowboys & Broncos
2000: Colts & Redskins
2001: Giants & Raiders
2002: Bears & Raiders
2003: 49ers & Raiders
2004: Pats & Eagles
2005: Steelers & Eagles
2006: Colts & Bears
2007: Pats & Bears
2008: Pats & Cowboys
2009: Steelers & Giants

A. Those years look really confusing. lol. Should've put them in the year of the actual season, not when the SB was played.. would've been more helpful I think.

B. I hope you realize with a BCS system, we wouldn't have a Playoff.. therefore teams like the Pats and Colts could play in the Super Bowl. I noticed you have AFC vs NFC teams in every year, but with a BCS system you wouldn't have that. And considering it's impossible for us to know which teams would be in which conference, I think it'd be alright for us to say two teams from the same conference in the NFL would go to the SB with a BCS system.

I didn't realize there were so many rules in hypothetical situations?

Who's to say the hypothetical NFL BCS wouldn't pit the highest rated team from the AFC against the highest rated team from the NFC?

Did I miss other rules aside from assuming every team was a BCS team?

Well I was assuming with a BCS system there wouldn't be an AFC or NFC.

Why though? There are conferences in the NCAA and you can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think two teams from the same conference have ever played for the BCS championship.

Nope. That hasn't happened yet, but it's possible.

And yeah, you're right. I don't see why there wouldn't be conferences. I was just thinking of it in a more confusing/complex way. Basically in that, which teams would be in what conferences? Are we just supposed to assume that it would still be AFC and NFC? Also, in the NCAA, almost every team in each conference plays each other at some point during the season(which is the main reason why there has yet to be two teams from the same conference in the BCS NC). However, in the NFL, you only play 8 teams out of a total of 16 that are in your conference. So all of that ties into the BCS. If the Pats and Colts play each other one season, there's a good chance they both won't be in the SB since one beat another earlier in the year. But let's say the next year they don't play each other in the regular season and they're both 14-2.. well then they'd likely both be in the SB. Basically teams in the same conference the NCAA all play each other at some point which ties into the BCS, but in the NFL you don't have that.

Anyway, I'm not sure if you understood any of that because I'm confusing myself now. I'll just leave it at that and see if you understand what I'm getting at. lol. When I saw this thread, I was thinking of it in a more complex way which is kind of hard to explain.

EDIT: Forget all of that. The real questions are, which you already said, are we assuming that with this hypothetical situation, the BCS would pit the highest rated NFC team against the highest rated AFC team? Or are we assuming that two teams from the same NFL Conference can go to the Super Bowl.. say two AFC teams finish 14-2 which are better records than any team in the NFC.

Alright. Forget it. I'm going to sleep. I keep trying to edit the post and make it more clear, but all I'm doing is confusing myself even more. This is way too hypothetical for me to even grasp. lol.
