What needs to happen is move Boise St. and Utah (the only two real MWC powers) over to the PAC10. This gives them an opportunity to play with the big boys and gives the PAC10 errrr PAC12 two really good teams and a championship game.</p>

edit to correct myself. Even so, I think it would be a good move for the PAC10. That conference needs a facelift.

I kind of like how the Pac-10 doesn't determine its champion with a CCG. They play everyone else in the conference. Kind of cool.

MWC may as well get an automatic bid. They are a pretty strong conference compared to ACC, Big East, Pac-10

Boise and Fresno State join the MWC. Now that'd be a solid conference. I'd say that's a better conference than the Big East this year. Get the bottom feeders playing better and it's a better conference than the Big 10 if things keep going downhill for them.

is that if the PAC-10 ever expanded, it would be Utah and BYU.

If it were me, I would want BYU and Hawaii if I was the PAC-10.

In addition to being a crappy school, I don't think they are good at any sport other than football.

Utah would be a great addition for the PAC-10. Kinda tough to think of another school to fit well. Didn't the PAC-10 go after Texas several years ago? I know the geography seems odd, but I think they almost lured them away from the BIG-12.

in the Big East and maybe the ACC. I'm not sure they don't deserve it.

But yeah, if the Pac 10 expanded to 12, it would most likely be Utah and BYU. You have to think about things like travel costs for non-revenue sports. Most of the time, teams are grouped together in travel partners (e.g. a weekend would consists of games against Washington and Washington State, Oregon and Oregon State, Stanford and California, USC and UCLA, Arizona and Arizona State and BYU and Utah.)

What I think should happen:

Notre Dame should be forced to either
(a) join the Big East in football like every other sport
(b) sack up and just join the Big Ten and let them have a championship game.

The SEC, ACC, Pac 10/12, Big 12 and Big 10 champions should receive an automatic bid to the BCS. The Big East has lost that right.
The highest ranked champion from the remaining conferences (MWC, WAC, Big East, Sun Belt, C-USA, MAC) should get the sixth automatic bid (This year it would have been Utah). This way the whiners from C-USA can't say they have no chance.
The remaining four spots should go to the highest ranked teams in the BCS, regardless of conference affiliation. If the SEC has four teams in the top 10, let 'em line up and try to beat us. Screw the minor bowls. (This would have put Texas Tech in this season, however)

Cincinnati and Ohio State would have been in non-BCS bowls under this system.
