That would be bs, imo.

PAC-16 TO GET 2 BCS BIDS?

In a related development, sources close to the Pac-10/Big 12 merger say the new, 16-team super conference could push for two BCS bids with the Big 12 dissolving and losing theirs.

In that case, you could have a BCS bid for the Western Division winner among USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State.

As well as a BCS bid for the Eastern Division winner among Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State.

That will be met with resistance from the other BCS conferences as they try to expand and could lead to the formula of each division winner in one of the newly formed super conferences receiving a bid into an 8-team playoff.

There will need to be some representation of the non-BCS schools or legal wrangling and government hearings will overwhelm the process.

But as Orangebloods.com laid out over the weekend, there are athletic directors involved in this whole process who see this coming.

Exactly why if this is true the SEC will raise its hand and make some offers.

I think the soluttion is not to give any conference more than 1 automatic qualifier but just to get rid of the rule limiting any 1 conference to 2 teams max in the BCS

That is a complete load of crap. It would just be like having two different 8 team conferences.

If there was a Pac 16, they'd likely get two teams the majority of the time anyway, but it shouldn't be a rule. There would be situations where we could see a team in one division at 8-4 and they are supposed to get a BCS bid? BS. They do need to get rid of the 2 team conference max though with the Big XII going bye bye.
