The payout is greatly reduced if they go to a BCS game, and if they don't it's less than say 14.5Million divided by 8 conference teams. They are guaranteed to go to a BCS bowl if they are in the top 8. Big deal that is since they would go then without the guarantee. I see nothing wrong with that agreement.There will be another game, and now UCF and other teams from the MidMajor conferences will have a chance for a BCS bowl. Actually this year TCU would have been in a BCS game since they were ranked higher than 16 and ahead of the ACC champ (FSU).Sounds alright to me, but I wonder if the extra BCS game would have been WVU vs TCU.

Since USC was #1, the Rose Bowl would get first pick from among the available teams. Probable Matchup: Penn State vs Oregon.The Fiesta Bowl would get the second pick from among the available teams to replace the Big 12 Champ and the, I think, last at-large team. Probable Matchup: Notre Dame vs TCU.The Orange Bowl would get the ACC champion and an at-large team. Probable Matchup: FSU vs Ohio State.The Sugar Bowl would get the SEC champion and the next to last last pick of an at large team. Probable Matchup: Georgia vs WVU.The National Championship Game -- not an official bowl game -- would be held a week later in Pasadena and would have been USC vs Texas.
