Nice piece by regular ESPN.com contributor and all-around nice guy Pat Forde in today’s Courier-Journal. It’s even better since he makes prominent mention of my site.

His point is one that will gain more steam nationally in the coming weeks. The demise of the Pac 10 and Big 10 is going to help a team from a non-BCS conference get more consideration than they would 2 or 3 years ago. It’s possible the two conferences will only get a combined 9 bids this year.
