It has happened before, several times.
Back when the SEC was the top wbb conference, it happened a couple times. Then the Big East was the top conference and managed it twice. After the major conference shake-up, some of the top teams in the Big East moved to other conferences, so the matchup between UConn and Notre Dame in 2014 and 2015 represented a Big East team and a recent member of the Big East conference. The Pac12, which had been at the weaker end of the top six conferences for many years, has turned into the top overall conference by many measures. Their addition to this list is further proof of their ascendancy.
Championship matchups
1989 SEC Tennessee and Auburn
1996 SEC Tennessee and Georgia
2009 Big East Connecticut and Louisville
2013 Big East Connecticut and Louisville
2017 SEC South Carolina and Mississippi State
2021 PAC12 Stanford and Arizona
(I’m doing this quickly by glancing at championship game matchups and hoping I remember conference affiliations at the time, so I would be grateful if someone points out necessary corrections.)
