I like this term. We should promote this term like crazy.

The BCS has become reasonably fair. We have about a very fair shot at a BCS game every year with the current rules. The national championship game is even accessible, if we're willing to schedule. We've entered a phase where the huge gap between the BCS and non-BCS can begin to narrow again.

We need to fight the concept that BCS conferences are all BCS schools and we're not. This will continue to kill us, PR-wise.

I've seen this term Automatic qualifier starting to creep up. Call all D1 teams BCS schools and the big six conferences will be called Automatic Qualifiers.
