BSC is a sham for college bowl games
The game the Pittsburg Panthers played was a joke. They may have had an off game but no heart. Louisville finished no 7 in the AP poll and BSU #10 in the poll. They played great in the Liberty bowl.

1. I'm more than likely
to blame the shitty Big East. Thank god they're losing their automatic bid.

3. Unfortunately, I think you're wrong
IIRC, the Big Least just had their bid guaranteed for a few more years. Pitt was the hands down worst team I've ever seen in a BCS team. I don't hate them for being there, as they didn't do anything wrong, but it is pretty obvious that something is wrong when a mediocre team like that is in a BCS game. Louisville will help some, but doesn't even come close to replacing Miami and VT. From what I heard, the BCS committee had to include the BE in order to have a majority of the conferences. I don't see the system changing, but at least UL will be a decent bowl rep next year. On the other hand, the Big East should be an amazing basketball conference with all the new teams (UL, Cincy, Marquette, DePaul)
