Let me get this straight. You are saying that if the BE gets to the rumored 12 teams that they will lose their BCS bid by 2015? Really? Do you realize that the BE would have a better showing by BCS criteria than the ACC? How can you justify taking the bid away from the BE and allowing the ACC to keep it? And do you really think that if the BE lost its BCS bid that McConnell or any supporters/politicians from Texas, Florida, NJ, Conn, or the Armed Forces won't make a stink? Why would the Big 5 even risk that? They already won by killing CUSA, the MWC, and the WAC. Last year Boise and TCU stole bids. The chances of a MAC, Sun Belt, WAC, BYU, or an Alliance team getting an auto bid are slim to none. There are no good schools left outside the BCS. So the Big 5 went from 7 bids last year, to 9 going forward. They already won. There is no need to kill the BE. In addition, if they do add another BCS Bowl then the Big 5 will control 11 bids.

IMO the BE going to 12 is a huge mistake. They are taking a huge risk by possibly putting a bad team in the BCS and leaving the best team out. Can you imagine if Boise went 10-2 (8-1) and then lost to an 8-4 (6-3) UConn team in the BECG? Why in the hell risk that? That is the easiest way to lose the BCS bid. The BE should just leave UCF out and not replace WV. Having 10/15 is better for both FB and BBall. Once again Marinatto messes up.

That being said there is no way in hell the BE loses its bid by 2015. At least one of those 12 teams will be Top 20 every year.
