The thing is that the BCS is working on going to a "plus-1" that basically says the the top 4 ranked teams at the end of the season will compete for the NC. That is the goal with all this, just to have a chance. Well guess, what, you win you will get that opportunity. True, for our conferences, it will take a couple of years of winning, just like it did for Boise. But also look at the fact that if Boise had won their games, they would have been in the top 4 this year, which would have put them in in that scenario. Is it a perfect system, no, but atleast it is getting better. And lets face it, how many of the non-AQ teams over the histroy of the BCS could have actually won the thing???

I'm not sure I understand the need for this ridiculous merger of these two conferences that will alienate fans, shows no true value. Just look at some of the bowl games from this past year that had no one in the stands. That is what their conference games will look like.
