Which Perennial Top 10 Team Right Now Is Left Out of "The Top Four Conferences"

"We're not getting the piece of the pie we used to be getting, so we're taking our ball and playing our own game."

That's what the SEC, Big 12, Big 10 and Pac-12 have decided.  Tired of being beaten by Boise State, Utah, TCU, Fresno State and others, those four conferences are trying to form their own division at the exclusion of the other D-1 conferences.

With all the upheaval, here is the pertinent question.  Understand that, and you understand everything.

Which perennial Top 10 team is left out?  

Well, they already snapped up Utah and TCU, the other legitimate contenders for postseason play that weren't in the major conferences.  But there's one left, that in fact has been more successful than either of those two.  Yep, it's Boise State.  The Broncos have made a home in the Top 10, or at least the Top 15, for the last decade.  There's no other successful team that the big boys have to deal with.  


So will the top four conferences include Boise State or leave them as "the glaring example" of a highly successful team that was kicked from the table?

But this isn't over.  This kind of thing ultimately may come down to the courts and/or Congress.  Then again, they too might look the other way.
