I'm betting the big 12 invites two of those schools.
Maybe Boise, Louisville or Houston.

The biggest difference in the revenue distribution, compared to the current BCS system, is that starting in 2014, five conferences -- the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and ACC -- will receive the biggest slices of the revenue. In the current BCS system, the six automatic qualifying BCS leagues, those five plus the Big East, received the lion's share of the revenue.Because the Big East's membership has had multiple defections in the past few years, the Big East drops from receiving an AQ share to paired with the Group of Five.This is pretty big news. Those teams moving to the Big East have to be s -shocked.The commissioners reached that decision based on several factors, including the BCS rankings of the conferences since 1998 based on the conference's 2014 membership. For example, the Big 12 gets credit for West Virginia and TCU's past BCS rankings, the Big Ten gets credit for Nebraska, the SEC gets credit for Texas A&M and Missouri, the ACC gets credit for Miami, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Pittsburgh and Syracuse, the Pac-12 for Utah and Colorado and the Big East gets credit for Boise State, Houston and UCF. The Mountain West and Conference USA also get credit for their new members.

The big east just got told to go sit at the little kids table.
In the new format, which the Sports Business Journal reported could be worth $7.3 billion over 12 years, the power five leagues will each receive an equal share, which will dwarf the compensation of the remaining five leagues (Big East, Conference USA, Mountain West, Sun Belt and Mid-American), called the Group of Five.So the big east no longer gets a big boy share and their auto-bid now becomes a shared one amongst the Big East/CUSA/Mtn West/Sun Belt/Mid-American.While the Group of Five will receive substantially less than the Power Five leagues, sources said the commissioners are in favor of the highest-rated champion from the Group of Five receiving guaranteed access to one of the six access bowls.
Maybe, but they seemed to be content with 10 schools. They seem to be ok not having a championship game since it makes it easier for their team to get a potential le shot.
I could see L'Ville, but not Houston. Not sure about Boise either.
Yep. It does really suck for Boise/Houston/et al who thought they had successfully worked their way into an AQ conference only to see the Big East knocked back down to equal status of the conferences they left.
Definitely. Still, I don't think the Big East should be included with the other 5 at this point. They're basically a collection of mid-majors at this point.
If I was Boise and San Diego St, I would think about staying in the Mountain West unless the Big East has a much better TV deal.
Good.
SEC domination.that will lock up seven of the 12 berths in the six access bowls along with the Rose (Pac-12 vs. Big Ten); Sugar (Big 12 vs. SEC) and Orange (ACC vs. Big Ten, SEC or Notre Dame). The other five berths will be filled with at-large teams chosen, based on their final rankings, by a yet-to-be-formed selection committee.
Would have been interesting to see what would have happened with realignment if everybody knew this was coming last year. It wouldn't have affected the Nebraska/Colorado/A&M/Mizzou decisions, but it could have meant that the WAC would have survived instead of the Big East.
Would love to see how those at large bids would work out right now with 6 SEC teams in the top 9.
Wouldn't mind seeing a Georgia/LSU matchup, Texas A&M versus South Carolina and Bama vs Florida (Actually Bama would probably shut them out).
Looks to me like all 6 SEC teams would get in.
Auto bids for the Power 5 conf champs: K-State, Oregon, Alabama, Florida State, Nebraska
Auto bid for the highest ranked champ from the Group Of Five: Lousiville
6 at large bids: ND, Georgia, Florida, LSU, A&M, SC
imagine the outrage if that would happen.
Who would face who? Would all these teams be in a playoff?
Only two teams per conference can be in BCS bowls
It won't. You're an idiot.
Are you that ing stupid you missed the whole point of the thread?
Here you go dip :
. Conferences also will not be limited to how many teams it can send to access bowls.
Lol
Ridiculous, that conference is completely inept... Boise and SDSU are leaving for a reason, tbh...
The point of the thread was the big east getting left out of the power five.Are you that ing stupid you missed the whole point of the thread?
Here you go dip :
I can't believe the commissioners are taking away the two per conference rule. What a bunch of bas s.

More details here.
The cliff notes version:
6 access bowls. 12 teams. 4 of the 12 will be in a 4 team playoff for National Champion.
2 bowls get to host semifinal games. Other 4 are basically just what the non-championship BCS bowl games are now. Semifinals to rotate through the 6 access bowls.
Championship game is not part of the 6 access bowls. Location determined Superbowl style, i.e. cities bid on it.
Bids for the 12 teams as follows:
5 auto bids to the Power 5 conf champs.
1 auto bid to the highest rated Group Of Five conf champ.
SEC and Big 10 get an additional autobid apiece.
4 at large bids
playoffs.
I feel better just knowing Boise will be on the schedule every year. the nBE schools simply need to set themselves up for the next round of alignment. I'm hoping every conference gets to 14, opening up 8 slots. - Notre Dame, BYU, Louisville, Cincy, Boise will be first to in.
That leaves 3 spots for the rest of us to fight over.
I really think sooner or later Houston gets invited to the big xii.
