In that case, you could have a BCS bid for the Western Division winner among USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State.
As well as a BCS bid for the Eastern Division winner among Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State.
That will be met with resistance from the other BCS conferences as they try to expand and could lead to the formula of each division winner in one of the newly formed super conferences receiving a bid into an 8-team playoff.
There will need to be some representation of the non-BCS schools or legal wrangling and government hearings will overwhelm the process.
But as Orangebloods.com laid out over the weekend, there are athletic directors involved in this whole process who see this coming.

What would be better is if there are 4 "super-conferences" then each has a Conference Championship Game, and the winner from each goes into a 4-team, plus-one style format.
It's weak to have all these "super-cons" when they'd really be nothing more than 8 8-team conferences.
