Or bsu, Utah and byu could join the PAC 10 and smu and tcu could join the big 12 and let all those other teams sort themselves out. I think it's ridiculous that this is even being discussed.

The Pac-10 doesn't want Utah and BYU, and the Big 12 doesn't want TCU. So that's why we're discussing it.

Eventually one of these 3 or 4 perennial powers is going to get snuck in conference and if you have them as an auto qualifier we're gonna wind up with an 8-4 Nevada or Utah state in a bcs bowl they have no business being apart of.

I'm saying nothing of an automatic bid; the auto-bid doesn't matter, really. An expanded MWC champion will have at least ten wins and be in the top ten virtually every year. That's BCS-worthy, auto-bid or not.

Let's be honest...the WAC and the MWC have 4 teams collectively that every now and then are Maybe worthy of a bcs shot...why should the rest of the teams in those conferences be considered good too?

---

The conference currently is stronger than the ACC, which means now that in two straight years it has been better than a BCS conference. If the conference got even better, they would occasionally move even further up the list. Pointing out that a conference has a few shitty teams does nothing for your argument.

There are a couple bcs conferences looking to expand, the good teams need to join or shut up.

Notice that none of these teams are in any discussion regarding a BCS conference's expansion?

I picked nevada as a 34 pt pick. Totally way off. They didn't show up at all.
