Guest Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 No. Each conference gets one and only one automatic bid.A mid major team (like Hawaii) and/or Notre Dame can get an automatic bid if they meet certain conditions.The remaining 2,3, or 4 bids can go to any team in the Top 14 - provided that no more than two teams from each conference get a bid. If there aren't enough teams in the Top 14 for this season, then BCS bowls can select a team from 15 through 18 (again assuming no conference gets more than two bids).

I may be wrong, that may not go into effect until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard of Top 14 remains, but if there aren't enough eligible teams in the Top 14 (because they are in conferences which already have two teams in BCS bowls), then a team in the 15 - 18 position (with 9 wins and from a conference with only 1 bid) can be selected.
