oh yeah, and didn't Utah beat the shit out of a decent SEC team?

this is so fun.

What's your point?

Big East doesn't deserve one.. Notre Dame doesn't deserve one.

yea ... but this isn't just taking a risk for yourself. This is putting an entire university at risk and millions of dollars. Not a risk anyone should take lightly.

what happens if something goes wrong and you have to start firing teachers because the income of the school takes a sudden drop?

you don't play monopoly with real jobs of real people with real families.

I agree.

So you give them to a conference that has teams that actually deserve one.

What's fun is watching you cite a bunch of tier 2 teams and think you are making some kind of relevant point.

I don't think the MWC deserves one.

Currently, the SEC, Big XII, ACC, Big 10 and Pac-10 deserve auto-bids, IMO.

If the Big XII were to dissolve with Texas, OU, etc. going to the Pac-10 and Mizzou, Nebraska going to the Big 10 then I'd rather just the 4 remaining conferences from the above list get auto-bids.

What are the odds of them NOT getting the invite? If not from the Big 10, from anyone?

Because you are constantly taking this SEC is all powerful view of things and it's tired.

Yes they are the best teams right now.

Why not allow another conference (if it were to come together in the way we're talking) to complete with the others? The track record is there.

Seems like a simple call to me.

Shit, a MWC with Boise, KU, and KSU is probably better than the Big East. The recent track record in big games is better.

Big East deserves one. Its top team can compete with the big boys.

No it's not.

Which top team are you referring to? The one that got embarrassed in the Sugar Bowl?

This is precisely what so many men in collegiate athletics have worked so hard to prevent for so many years.

A country with 4 super conferences would cease to be college football. It may not be pro but its definitely morphed to something else.

That ship sailed long ago.
