From CBS Sports:
"One proposal being considered by the commissioners on dividing the estimated $400 million in media rights revenue is by using past performance, specifically the past BCS Top 25 final standings.
Even though these standings are released after the conference championship games and do not include results of the bowl games, they are one way at looking at a conference's overall strength -- or lack of strength.
Here are the cumulative points per conference, based on 2014 membership, compiled by CBS Sports.com for the Top 25 final BCS rankings since 2007. First place finish is worth 25 points down to one point for a 25th place finish."
