[edit] Notre Dame and the BCS

I don't think it's true that Notre Dame is the only school that can be selected for a BCS at-large bid, it's just that they have a special provision guaranteeing them one if they qualify. To wit, Utah, despite not being in one of the BCS conferences (or being Notre Dame), received a BCS at-large bid. Thus, Army or Navy could also qualify, but they would have to be in the Top 10 or whatever the minimum is. --Cliedl 21:55, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

You are correct in that other schools can be selected for BCS at-large bids, in fact, there are also certain conditions which guarantee a non-BCS school a BCS bid. The distinction however, is that Notre Dame is actually a *member* of the BCS. The BCS is an organization representing the six major conferences and Notre Dame. Other schools, like Utah, Boise State, and Hawai'i, have played in BCS bowl games, but their conferences are not members of the BCS organization. Cogswobbletalk 00:23, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
