the Alliance is dumb because it provides the AQ Conferences a means of furhter seperating themselves from the rest of us. It provides an argument that a "new division" has been created, and thus the BCS Championship is the only true FBS National Championship and only the AQ Conferences should have the ability to compete for it.

the possibility of the non-AQ leagues being relegated to something like the FCS/ DII designations is now more likely than it was before the Alliance. I'm not saying we will be FCS or DII, but there exists an opening for the Power 6 to declare us not in the same division as them anymore and force us to create some sort of National Championship for this "new division."
