This is great news and the way it should be. I liked the old Bowl system better. Never understood why the BCS was for anything but 1 vs 2. So now we will have...

Rose P12 1 or 2 vs B1G 1 or 2
Sugar SEC 1 or 2 vs ND or 2/3 from P12, ACC, B1G, or B12
Orange ACC 1 or 2 vs ND or 2/3 from P12, SEC, B1G, or B12
Fiesta B12 1 or 2 vs ND or 2/3 from P12, ACC, B1G, or SEC
NCG BCS 1 vs BCS 2

This will make it almost impossible for a non Big 5 conference team to get to one of the big boy Bowls. They would have to go undefeated to get taken. Which means those schools are stuck playing in shitty Bowls and get little to no money. This also gives the B12 incentive to go back to 12. Texas can lose the B12 CG and end up 10-3 and will still make a major Bowl. They no longer need to be highly ranked in the BCS to get there.

The only issue I see is money. Currently the Rose, Sugar, Orange, and Fiesta pay out around $15 million to each team. That is because they are all part of the BCS and the money is distributed amongst all 5 games. Without the BCS won't those payouts drop to $5-10 million for the big 4 Bowls? And the NCG go up? Will TV networks buy the rights for those Bowls for the same as they do now if they are buying individual games and not a bundle?
