This does nothing but good. Will raise the level of 2 additional bowls to what was called "BCS" status, meaning that 12 teams will get to play in the upper-level, most prestigious bowls. Chances are that MU won't ever get into the current top 4 playoff, but our chances of getting into one of the other 4 top tier bowls is greater than ever. Now, the bowls might, and probably will set their standards for the top ranked available teams (after the top 4 are chosen) from "X" & "Y" conferences, but it will be hard to keep a top 10-15 ranked team from CUSA/BE/MWC out of that 12 teams field.
Also opens up to a larger playoff. The BCS each year acted like a weatherman...Never got it right and never apologized. No one ever thought there was a true path to a playoff, but now that they have opened the pandora's box, I foresee a clamor to open it up to at least 8 teams which they should all be in favor of...In fact, I wonder if that may have something to do with a 6 bowl rotation. Perfect for an 8 team playoff - quarterfinals in 4 bowls, semifinals in the other 2 bowls a week later, then a Championship game bid to a city like the Super Bowl. Makes all 6 of their bowls relevant every year.
