Default Left Out

So it seems that the consensus opinion is that USC is the best team in the nation. That may be true although I favor Oklahoma. A few years ago, USC and Oklahoma both finished undefeated and played in the title game. Undefeated Auburn was left out. This year, USC may be the best team but does anyone think that if they run the table, an undefeated team from either the SEC or the Big 12 can be left out? The Big 12 and SEC both have four teams currently in the top 10. The Pac 10 doesn't have another team besides USC even in the top 25. If Georgia, LSU, Bama, or Florida go undefeated and is NOT in the title game, I'd not be surprised to see the SEC not only drop out of the whole BCS deal (contracts be damned) but I'd expect to read news of them seceeding from the Union. While it's not as dramatic in Big 12 country, if Oklahoma or Missouri goes undefeated and is not in the title game, that would be a huge travesty also. The competition in these two conferences is beyond tough this year. It's almost unlikely that the champions from either of these conferences will be able to go undefeated AND win their conference title games (something USC won't have to do) but if they do, they deserve to be there over USC.
