Should the Mountain West get an automatic bid spot to the BCS? Some say yes, but others fear that instead of adding the Rocky Mountain Gang to the table, the system would replace the weakest of the current auto-bids, the Big East. Is that fair? Well, this system isn't about fairness, is it? But, I will say, we need to move slowly on this. The MWC had an AWESOME year, but how do they compare to the Big East over, say, the last few seasons? That's what Brian Bennett breaks down here. He provides good insight into this debate. We cannot go on '08 alone. What if things revert back in the next year or two and West Virginia's knocking off Georgia and Oklahoma again and the standard bearer for the MWC is 8-4 BYU? Then we'd have to do this all over again.
Here's an idea: Drop the Big East and keep the MWC out. Then you have 5 automatic bids and more room for at-larges coming out of the better conferences. The SEC and Big XII could consistently place 3 competitive teams into top tier play.
I'm not sure if I'd actually espouse this idea, it's just always fun to mention how great the SEC is. Do you remember that we won the Cotton Bowl and the BCS Title game against Big-XII teams? Just checking.
