The BCS has had a set of criteria in place for a mid major conference to earn an automatic berth into the BCS. The current cycle which started in 2006 comes to a close in 2009. This looks at the performance of the East, MWC, and WAC against the criteria, the other majors, and each other, and investigates the merit of the MWC in its quest to earn an automatic BCS berth.
BCS Requirements All conferences are evaluated on 3 criteria each year over a 4 year interval. The BCS is looking for a long term relationship with a conference, not a long term agreement with a 1 or 2 hit wonder.
