I think most years you would be right, but if TCU somehow beat OU (hey I was saying the same thing last night about UNLV ASU) and Utah wins out. That showdown would be between to highly ranked undefeated teams with, if not quality wins, high profile wins. I think that it is possible, but not likely.

If the SEC teams have two losses and BYU is undefeated with wins over two Pac-10 teams and Utah, BYU will make the championship game. |

Beating Mississippi St by 21 is a lot different than beating wyoming by 21. It just is. And voters know it. Playing relatively bad teams week in and week out is not going to fool anyone. And no, I didn't think utah should have played for the NC in 05. I don't think they were the 2nd best team in the nation. And neither did anyone else.

I think Utah's experience would also favor BYU. That is, with UM and Alex Smith. However, I think that all the forces in the world would align against BYU and prevent it if at all possible. |

You live outside the bubble, you know how the mwc is perceived. Two wins over two apparently poor Pac-10 teams and running the table in a mediocre conference is not going to fool anyone. And there is fixing to do, nobody is going to forget the penalty on UW.

Either way, just win. It'll take care of itself if you just keep winning. |

We MWC folks aren't taking it too far. Remember, the BCS exists in part because of BYU's 1984 season. The big boys hated that somebody else won it.
