Regardless of the scenario, it doesnt change the fact that these mid-major conferences will never be looked at as being on equal ground with the majors/BCS/whatever you want to call them.

if we went to a playoff format, you think all of a sudden Big 12 fans are going to say, "whoa....the MWC conference....they are as good as we are! Look at their recruits, their conference schedule, etc!"
"those mid major conferences" are dragging down the MWC in your eyes and in the eyes of most media and fans. That is keeping us out of the BCS in years when we probably deserve consideration. Don't you think? We have three teams this year that would have a good shot at winning the Big East, ACC, Big 10, and now even the PAC 10 now that USC has lost. That is a big deal. But the fact we're "mid major" means such facts can be conveniently swept under the rug and ignored.
