For the top half of the Big 12, the Holiday Bowl is a let down. BYU would (if I understand Sooner correctly) be thrilled to play the Holiday Bowl.
Now if you want to look at just this year specifically, I'd say you'd be better off in the Pac-10 or the Big 10, where you could lose a game (not unlikely -- everybody has an off day) and still go to the Rose Bowl. Big 12 may be tough this year, hard to say. And I wouldn't wish the SEC regular season on anybody.

This appears to be a down year for the PAC 10, so I'm not sure we'd be regularly in the top 2 there. Big 10's never been a thought for us, or that IS a no-brainer--totally overrated conference (like the Big East/ACC).
Again, everyone listen closely. Our top bowl is weak and our conference games are boring--for those reasons alone, I'd rather be in a BCS conference. I just think the road to a BCS game is easier where we are. Not a lot easier, and I completely respect those who disagree, but just a little easier.
