Do you mean this year, or ever? Because "ever" is obviously wrong, we had 2-loss teams make the BCS when it was only top-2. Double field and it'll happen more often. If you mean this year then you're kind of assuming a lot, it's entirely possible that there are 2-loss winners from the ACC, Big 12, and Pac-12, plus 2-loss ND, with no obvious teams sitting out CCGs with only 1 loss. So do they just call the whole thing off?

I really don't understand where this attitude comes from.

Basically, LSU (11-2) in 2007 is the exception for the Champ game / playoffs.
Since at least 2006, at second week of Dec there have been 4 to 8 teams with only one loss or better to choose from for Playoff (or BCS).
Perhaps this year will lead to multiple conf champs with two losses, but usually that just does not happen.
And Power 5 Conf champs should be given preference, because of strength of conference.

From here, likely Final Four
1) BAMA as SEC champ; GEOG as the slim alternative.
2) PNST from B1G, winning out.
3) TCU from Big12, with OKLA as backup bcuz of win over OHST early. 
4) Whoever has one loss or better from CLEM, MIAM, NDAM cuz NDAM plays MIAM.  MIAM likely gets shot at CLEM.
If Pac12 champ is WASH at 12-1, they have a good argument. 
So, I don't see any two loss teams in, and no conf gets two teams, even those hogs in SEC. 

Entering Week 9 there are six unbeaten Power 5 teams, and ten with a lone loss.  I don't see room for two-loss teams in CFP.
Best scenario I see for Stanford is Fiesta Bowl as Pac12 Champ vs OKLA or B1G runner up -- as U$C and SDST have weakened.
