If the Big Ten expands to 24, can they split into 4 divisions of 6 teams and get 4 autobids?

They could but that's why it makes sense that they'll press the NCAA for two AQ. Right now, the PAC-10 plays everyone so you can work in tiebreakers that way, but with unbalanced schedules with 16 teams, an AQ makes sense.
If you use BCS, two undefeated PAC-16 teams would almost certainly see one in the BCS Championship game and the other team gets the Rose Bowl, but you'd see way too much controversy then we've already seen.
If they can't get the AQ, then they'll either shoot for one of the at-large bids like everyone else or just add the Championship game for more money that way
