I think what he is saying is that BCS teams automatically receive the benefit of the doubt. If Nebraska was 4-0 and had played North Texas, La-Monroe, Ohio, and Troy, and Texas was 4-0 and had played a similar schedule. If Texas lost to Nebraska they would just assume that Nebraska was back to being a powerhouse and Texas would not be penalized much. Eventhough neither team has proven its worth. If a MWC team had won 4 games over those type of opponents and then lost to a team like Nebraska the MWC team would be heavily penalized and people would say they got "exposed".
