Really, why not? Seems to me like the conference would rather send a 12-1 team to represent them as opposed to an 8-5 team. I think they are just 'forced' to...
And it also gives the bowls some flexibility, as they would generally have 6 or 7 (rarely 8) autobids, and then they'd get to choose the best 2-4 'travel'...

I don't think it's a tough sell at all. Who would the Fiesta rather have a 7-5 'conference champ' like K State or an 11-1 runner up like Texas. That's an easy...

Wow, I remember that Oregon team being pretty bad (by Rose Bowl standards anyway) Weren't they 7-4?. But the point still holds, just a bad example. And yes, if...

... Completely disagree. I'd much rather see a small conference champ in March Madness than a team that finished 8-8 in a "power conference." As for D-III...

No they did not. From what I can tell, Miami joined the conference beginning in the 1991-1992 season, the first year of the BCS in its original format. This...

I wonder if this Letter from Senator Hatch to President Obama has anything to do with the rumor about MWC expansion. The source for that rumor was said to be...
This would be a dream come true for Bronco fans, and it makes a ton of sense, which is why it probably isn't true. I've inlcuded the best report on the rumor...
Joe Dimino ... I just looked at Sagarin. As things stand, the MWC is 8th behind the six BCS conferences plus the I-A Independents. Adding the three teams...
