A Big10 conference championship game would pit one of those against a bottom feeder. Hawaii in the PAC10 sounds doable, as does Boise St. I think all major conferences should have a championship game. If not, it's unfair to the SEC and Big 12 to play one against another top 10 team in December before the bowl schedule.

The BSC is not, and has never been, about determining a national champion .... it's about money! The BSC conferences locked in the most lucritive bowls to themselves. (Surely they cringe when "outsiders" as Boise & Utah cut into their returns.) 3 of the 6 BCS conferences have an additional game (conference championship), why? Money! Why do so many BCS schools play so many light nonconference games? Money! More home gates and associated revenues as well as inflating their record to become bowl eligible - which is more money. Notre Dame doesn't need a conference. Why not? Money ... they make plenty on their own. They will join one when it becomes to their financial advantage. I know you address money in your last paragraph, but that's the name of the game; thus the BCS never intended to have a true champion. USA Today's Christine Brennan said it best: BCS = Bogus Champion Selector. Let’s get to the point. The BSC is not, and has never been, about determining a national champion …. it’s about money!
