[QUOTE="BUGrad95, post: 1112033, member: 70567"] From what I'm seeing, there are a couple of options. One of them is top 4 ranked conference champions will play in their designated bowl. (B1G/PAC at the Rose Bowl, SEC Sugar, Big 12 Fiesta, which I'd rather it be the Cotton. ACC at the Orange). The winners would meet at a site that is has been selected by bid like the Superbowl. Or, top 3 conference champions plus Notre Dame/BYU provided they are ranked high enough. Or, top 4 teams regardless of conference affiliation. The bowls that don't have a top 4 from their designated conference become regular bowl games, no BCS affiliation. For example, if the ACC doesn't have a top 4 team, the Orange Bowl is simply another bowl. The BCS is only concerned with the 3 games. The money for those 4 teams will be crazy. Like $600M. To be divided among the conferences represented. The remaining money, approx $300M would be divided to remaining FBS conferences. It's conceivable that would add an additional $4M-$6M per team, or more for conferences that are represented. This is good for power conferences (B1G, SEC, Big 12, PAC). This could also be devastating to the Big East and ACC. There are no more AQ conferences. It will be interesting to see what the final plan is, but it looks like ND has wiggle room to stay indy for the next several years. The question is will the ACC football schools jump to conferences most likely to have top 4 teams, or will they roll the dice on getting one of their own in there. They could potentially double their money, or better just by being in a conference that is represented. The ACC doesn't have a good track record with teams finishing in the top 4. [/QUOTE]
