The reason why Pac-10, Big 12 and Big Ten are grouped together is to keep the location of the games close to fans. The same reason applies to why the Big East, ACC, and SEC are grouped together. The locations are up for debate, but keeping the current BCS bowl locations might entice the current BCS commissioners into a playoff system. After all, this is the group that decided to place the 5th BCS bowl game within the original four locations.

The semi-final dates and national championship dates were easy to decide on since they fit within the current structure. The quarter final dates were chosen to be two weeks after the Dec first conference championship date, and a week before the Christmas holidays. That would be one crazy college football weekend.
