Quote:
The new conference would be split into divisions with Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado forming an Eastern Division with Arizona and Arizona State opposite the former Pac-8 (USC, UCLA, Stanford, Washington, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State) in the Western Division.
The coach said it's possible the Pac-16 would push for two automatic bids to the BCS, one for each division champion. That potential bonanza could open the possibility of the two division champs from one league playing for the national title, and it would eliminate the need for a conference championship game.
"The Pac-10 doesn't believe in a championship game," the coach said. "And coaches in the Big 12 don't like it anyway."

Translation: We want to get 2 teams from our conference in a Championship game so we don't have to play a team from the SEC and can, therefore, get a guaranteed NC.
Having a 16 team conference with 2 8-team divisions with an auto-bid from each division and NO conference championship game? BS. I don't see the other conferences ever agreeing to that garbage.
