    I agree with this. Why should the ncaa care what a conference does re: a championship game?

    Getting a BCS at-large bid depends more on teams with large fan bases than when the schedule ends. The BCS did everything they could to deny Kansas State back in the day. The second-tier Big Ten teams have huge fanbases, thats why they get the at-large bids.

    Totally agree, unless it is OU and Texas we are not getting 2 bids very often.
