New bowl system a victory for MAC
DeKALB – Since its inception in 1998, the Bowl Championship Series, for the most part, has left out the little guy.
The big six conference champions received automatic bids in the system, which will expire after next season. Notre Dame gets a bid in one of the five BCS bowls if its in the top eight in the final BCS standings.
Schools from conferences like the Mid-American, Mountain West and Conference USA have a much higher hill to climb when it comes to getting in one of the major bowl games.
