And there's not really a logical way for the Pac 10 to expand; logistics demand a pair of teams close to each other, but BYU & Utah probably won't work because BYU doesn't play games on Sunday, and the only other thing that's even remotely possible--Colorado and Colorado State-- requires raiding from the Big 12.The Big 10 won't expand until/unless Notre Dame makes a definitive decision on joining a football conference (and they won't do that before their TV deal runs out). If Weiss is successful (and it looks like he will be right now), the Irish won't join a conference, and the Big 10 might consider adding Missouri, Iowa State, Pitt, or Syracuse. But the Big 12 schools have little reason to leave, and the Big East has instituted heavy withdrawl penalities in the wake of the ACC raid.Secondly, the MWC is much, much stronger than CUSA, easily the best non-BCS conference. And they're not even close to the Big East. If you somehow got the conferences to agree that only 12-team conferences with a title game got an automatic BCS bid, the Big East would raid CUSA and/or the MAC to get to 12 teams, and it  the Big East would stay in (if all such conferences received an autobid, the MWC would raid Boise State, Fresno State, and one other team from the WAC, and CUSA would pick off someone to replace further Big East defections).</blockquote>
