Jon,
What if MSU loses to Northwestern and then wins the B1G championship? Would the B1G still get 2 into the BCS?
The reason why I ask is I found this quirky BCS qualification on bcsfootball.org and if I am reading it correctly it says a conference has to have 2 teams ranked in the top 14 to get an at large bid.

If fewer than 10 teams are eligible for selection, then the Bowls can select as an at-large team any Football Bowl Subdivision team that is bowl-eligible, has won at least nine regular-season games and is among the top 18 teams in the final BCS Standings subject to the two-team limit noted above and also subject to the following: (1) if any conference has two or more teams in the top 14, then two of those teams must be selected and (2) from the teams ranked 15-18, a bowl can select only a team from a conference that has fewer than two teams in the top 14.

So in my scenario it is unlikely MSU would be ranked in the top 14. If this happened I do not think the B1G could get 2 into the BCS. The Pac12, SEC, Big12, and possibly even the Mountain West and ACC could all have 2 teams ranked in the top 14 of the BCS.
Am I wrong?
