    At this point, I would say no. Since Miami, VA Tech, Rich Rod, Petrino, and recently Brian Kelly left, this conference took a nose dive.

    This year, there were better many teams than UCONN who got left out of the BCS.

    Fact is, the Big East should have their AQ status removed.

    That might help, but I think TCU should have been more patient and tried to go to the Big 12. They will get more money being part of the Big East, but they could have had a solid chance joining the Big 12.

    I thought TCU being from the Dallas-FW area would be an advantage for them.

    They don't have much of a following there. DFW cares more about Texas than TCU even now.

    I think it make more sense to ditch the BCS and non-BCS conference distinction and just let any conference champion ranked in the top 16 be automatically eligible for a BCS game.

    The Big 12 won't exist in 5 years or so.

    throw out the automatic bids entirely

    I'd even be OK with a playoffs if they got rid of the automatic bids and just took the top 6 BCS teams, top 2 getting a buy.

    that would be all right.

    any more than 6 teams getting into the "playoffs" would destroy the regular season.

    but Big east and Bid ten teams get destroyed in BCS games is bad for the viewers, fans, networks, college football, everyone.

    That's what I would like to see.

    Except I would disallow Stanford since they already loss to Oregon this year. Make a rule allowing conference winners only except in a rare case where the Big Ten has two teams who haven't played each other.

    Basically, Auburn and Oregon would get a bye.

    Then TCU, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Boise St.

    1st round: Boise St. at TCU, Oklahoma at Wisconsin

    2nd round: Boise/TCU winner vs Oregon, OU/Wisc winner vs Auburn

    The 2nd round and champsionship games would be on neutral fields.
