The Big East will only get one automatic team, since Louisville will not finish in the top 4.
Also there is nothing in the 2006 rules that states a conference cannot have more than two teams in the BCS.

Bowl selection will then go,
1) Rose Bowl if they lose USC gets one pick
2) Sugar Bowl selects two teams
3) Orange Bowl selects two teams
4) Fiesta Bowl selects two teams
5) Rose Bowl selects final team

5. After completion of the selection process as described in Paragraph Nos. 1-4, the Conferences and Notre Dame may, but are not required to, adjust the pairings taking into consideration the following:
A. whether the same team will be playing in the same bowl game for two consecutive years;
B. whether two teams that played against one another in the regular season will be paired against one another in a bowl game;
C. whether the same two teams will play against each other in a bowl game for two consecutive years; and
D. whether alternative pairings may have greater or lesser appeal to college football fans as measured by expected ticket sales for the bowls and by expected television interest, and the consequent financial impact on Fox and the bowls.
