I doubt conferences will want to give up the assurance of getting a team in a BCS bowl.

Ya think? So another conference could get 45-60 million while they get zero?



The Big East does need to lose their bid though. But it can't just be rescinded with them not living up to certain criteria. I can't remember what that is exactly, maybe not having a rep in the top 12 in the BCS for 3 straight years or something. Even then, I'm not sure what entity makes the proposal.

How about this:

The conference rating is calculated by Sagarin as we know.

If your conference is the bottom of the A-Q's, then you have to have a 9-3 or better and #14 in the BCS to AUTO qualify, just like ND has to have 9-3 or better and #14 or better to AUTO qualify for a BCS slot.

That way its not about Big east. Currently their best team is not in the top 14.
