Dr Z Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 In the past, teams from the Mountain West, MAC, WAC, Conference USA and Sun Belt had to finish in the top six of the BCS standings to be guaranteed a BCS bowl berth. The only such team to meet that standard over the past eight seasons was 11-0 Utah in 2004. Starting this season, a champion from one of those leagues, or an independent, can earn a guaranteed berth either by finishing in the top 12 or by finishing in the top 16 if one of the major-conference champions is ranked lower. If the new standard had been in place last season, 10-1 TCU would have earned an automatic berth because it finished 14th while ACC champion Florida State, at 8-4, was 22nd.My favorite new rule for this year:Notre Dame will be guaranteed an at-large berth if it finishes in the top eight.Source (SI.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
