Let's just suppose...

Alabama wins the SEC with one conference loss early on to Auburn.  
TCU and Baylor have the same thing that happened this year and are named co-champs each with one loss. 
Ohio St Loses one game during the season and wins the B1G against Mich State in the CCG giving each of them 1 loss.
Georgia wins all their games and loses to Bama in the SEC CCG.
Oregon loses an early game to Stanford but goes on to win the division meeting undefeated USC in their CCG game and wins.

With the above scenario there would be:
Bama 1 loss
Georgia 1 loss
TCU 1 loss
Baylor 1 loss
Ohio State 1 loss
Michigan State 1 loss
Oregon 1 loss
USC 1 loss
Add in the possibility of ND having a great season and they could be another.

8 teams with one loss, not all that improbable and every one of those teams would get in ahead of an undefeated SU.  Most if not all of them will be ranked pre-season, where SU won't.  Look at their SOS compared to an ACC with a not so great football perception.  The talking heads would all explode if a 1 loss SEC, PAC, Big 12 or B1G school was left out for an Undefeated SU.

My original list of teams wasn't meant to have all of those teams with 1 loss in the same year as someone else was suggesting I meant.  It was meant to illustrate that all of those "name" teams if they had 1 loss would get in ahead of an undefeated SU.
