Two years ago, University of Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema was upset because the Badgers didn't receive an at-large bid to a BCS bowl game despite an 11-1 record during the regular season. Only two teams from each conference can receive BCS bids, and Ohio State and Michigan were no-brainer BCS choices in 2006.

The issue has come up again this year because the Big 12 -- actually, the Big 12 South -- has at least three BCS-worthy teams in Texas Tech, Texas and Oklahoma. If Oklahoma beats Texas Tech this weekend, all three teams will likely end the regular season with an 11-1 record. However, only two of them can play in BCS games.

If more than two were allowed, it's realistic to believe that Ohio State, which has a good shot at receiving an at-large bid to a BCS game, would get left out of the mix. The three Big 12 South teams would be more worthy of bids than the Buckeyes, who likely will finish with a 10-2 record.

The idea of the two-teams max rule is to spread the wealth among the BCS conferences as much as possible. If Ohio State receives a bid, that's more money for the Big Ten Conference -- and UW, of course.

So while he may have been upset that the Badgers were left out of the BCS two years ago, Bielema might want to consider this season's scenario before he throws his support at a rule change regarding the two-teams max rule.
