I could see the division winner rules being:
1. Division Record
2. Conference Record
3. Head-to-Head Record (or maybe flip 2 and 3 around)
4. Overall Record
5. BCS Ranking
Personally, I don't see either Ohio State or Nebraska agreeing
to an annual cross-division rivalry game, as there is no long-term
history (like Michigan-Ohio State) and it pretty much guarantees
that one of them is knocked out of the national picture each season.
(Different rules apply to the SEC, of course.)
