>>19960In previous seasons it was the Top 12 to even be considered. This year, a non-automatic qualifying conference gets a team in a BCS Bowl Game if:
a) They finish in the top 12, -OR-
b) They finish in the top 16 AND are higher than a champion of one of the auto-qualifying conferences.
The Big East is a faker, but with the joke schedules of Louisville and WVU, they may be able to pull it off. The ACC, however, sucks.
