so, starting next year, if say the mwc or cusa champ is ranked in the top 12 (or 16 and ahead of champ of six autos) are they garaunteed one of the 4 at large BCS spots? thanks

As long as there is no ND and a one-loss team in a NT team's conf/2 unbeaten Big 10 teams

What the hell are you talking about Irish.

Starting in 2006 you will have 2 extra At large Bids.

A Non BCS League Champion will receive an Automatic At Large Bid IF they finish in the Final BCS Poll Top 12 or if they Finish ahead of a Automatic Qualifier Champion-(really doesn't have to be in the Top 16, it is a sliding scale).

FWIW, ND receives an Automatic At Large Bid if they Finish in the Final BCS Poll at Number 8. If they make it to a BCS Game starting in 2006 they will not receive a full share but they will receive 5 Million instead of the entire 14-17 Million.

I think they have to be ranked in the top 16. From the BCS website.

""Under the double hosting format, the champions of the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific-10 and Southeastern Conferences will continue to play annually in one of the BCS bowls through the post-season following the 2007 regular season. In addition, one conference champion from among Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, Sun Belt, and Western Athletic Conferences will automatically qualify to play in a BCS bowl if it is: (1) ranked among the top 12 teams in the final BCS Standings; or (2) ranked among the top 16 teams in the final BCS Standings and ranked higher than the champion of one of the conferences whose champion has an annual automatic berth in a BCS bowl.""
