BCS conference
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BCS Conferences are the six major NCAA Division I-A football conferences whose champions receive an automatic bid into the Bowl Championship Series every year. The six conferences are:
- Atlantic Coast Conference
- Big 12 Conference
- Big East Conference
- Big Ten Conference
- Pacific Ten Conference
- Southeastern Conference
There are other conferences and independent schools who can participate in BCS bowls, but they do not receive automatic bids for their champions.
These conferences include[1]:
- Conference USA
- Mid-American Conference
- Mountain West Conference
- Sun Belt Conference
- Western Athletic Conference
The term is generally used in college football, though it is often applied to all collegiate sports. In some sports, such as college basketball or college baseball, these conferences are called the Power Conferences.
