On a similar note, last year Missouri was ranked #1 going into the final weekend of the season (Championship Saturday), lost to #9 Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game, fell to #7 and was shut out of the 10-spot BCS altogether because frankly, none of the bowls wanted them.
On another similar note, Texas got the Rose Bowl invite over Cal in 2004 primarily due to campaigning by Mack Brown.

If any of those coaches had the direct backing of God, let me know.
I think our coach is a little bit different than those.
