Yes I can. There are only 12 D-1 conferences, and for argument's sake, let's agree that there are 3 major bowls that these 12 champions AREN'T in. That's 15 teams, which leaves 10 slots left in the top 25. So yes, an 8-5 record could merit a top 25 preseason rank, especially if there is a good recruiting class from the prior years rising. So using your theory, we should only have a top 15. Or a maximum of a top 18.
Walking Shadow, please meet logic. Logic, Walking Shadow. Obviously, you two aren't aquainted and perhaps you'd like to spend some time together.

And you need to get aquainted with the various ties between the Big 4 bowl games and the various conferences, as you are ignorant beyond all doubt.
The Rose Bowl gets the top team from the Big 10 and the Pac 10, unless one or both of those teams is playing in the BCS game.
The Sugar Bowl gets the SEC champion, unless that team is in the BCS game.
The Orange Bowl gets the Big 12 champ unless that team is in the BCS game.
goddfather40 As far as UCLA goes, the only reason they were in contention for the national championship that far into the season was because the game against Miami had been postponed due to a hurricane. And UCLA got their asses kicked in that game which proved how unworthy they were of national championship consideration.
