BCS to reconsider Two team limit per Conference
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2011 9:48 amI know this has been talked about, but new BCS rumblings afoot, and sounds like not just about two team limits. ACC and Big East are not in favor of two team limits obviously and Jerry Jones is pushing hard for the Cotton Bowl to be in the mix every year....

BcS may reconsider two-team conference limit
Posted by John Taylor on September 28, 2011, 9:42 AM EDT
In the 13 years since the BcS came onto the college football scene, no conference has ever placed more than two teams in the five-bowl (since the 2006 season) series. Why? Because BcS bylaws have always capped the number at two per league.
Apparently, that cap could be raised in the not-too-distant future.
Speaking on a teleconference to discuss the addition of Texas A&M, SEC commissioner Mike Slive told reporters that the BcS is considering raising the number of schools a conference can place in the bowl games that constitute the BcS — Fiesta, Orange, Rose, Sugar and the title game. Slive said raising the cap is one of several issues the series’ executive director will put before the conference commissioners at some point in the future.
“I do know this: That Bill Hancock has put together a list of issues that he believes the commissioners and the BCS bowl oversight committee ought to be looking at as the BCS develops a position on upcoming negotiations. I think that’s one of them,†Slive said according to the Associated Press.
“I think there are going to be several issues that are important enough to have serious discussion about, and that would be one of them.â€
