This is extremely naïve. There are 130 college teams in the BCS.
National Champions since 2001:
Alabama: 6
Auburn: 1
Clemson: 2
Florida: 2
Florida State: 1
LSU: 3 (one shared with USC)
Miami: 1
Ohio State: 2
Oklahoma: 1
Texas: 1
USC: 2 (one shared with LSU)
Since 2011:
Alabama: 5
Clemson: 2
Florida State: 1
LSU: 1
Ohio State: 1

For the most part, only around 10 BCS teams will be in position to win a BCS National Championship but really, that number is closer to 5 or less.
The same programs win the BCS Championship over and over and over again, and no amount of money paid to college football athletes will change that stat.
