The MAC has more bowl games and its time for the league to aim for bigger and better things.
I propose the following.......
1. Every Division 1-A conference should have an automatic bid to the BCS for its champion.
2. Every BCS conference at a minimum must have 10 universities.
3. With the added BCS bowls, that would preclude a top 20 ranking to be elgible for one of them as an at-large team.
Here is how it could play out
Big East (Orange Bowl vs. ACC)
WVU, Pitt. Louisville, UC, UConn, Rutgers, USF, Syracuse, *UCF, *ECU
Mountain West (Sun Bowl vs. at-large)
SDSU, UNLV, New Mexico, Colorado St, Utah, BYU, Wyoming, Air Force, TCU, *UTEP
CUSA (Liberty Bowl vs. at-large)
Houston, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, Tulane, USM, Memphis, UAB, Marshall, *WKU, *MTSU, *Troy St
WAC (Hawaii Bowl vs. at-large)
Hawaii, Fresno, Boise St, Nevada, Idaho, Utah St, New Mexico St, San Jose St, La Tech, *North Texas
MAC (Motor City vs. at large)
Northern Ill., Ball St, WMU, CMU, EMU, Toledo, BGSU, Miami, Ohio, Kent, Akron, Buffalo, Temple, *UMass
The Stuck Belt wouldn't have enough teams left for a BCS bowl.
