So how good is the MWC? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

4 teams with 9 or more wins and TCU has a good shot at 8 wins.

We are also 3-0 in bowl games (although in each game we have been favored)

thoughts?

It's looking good for us, but I'm not sure that bowls tell us much of anything anymore. None of us have even played a good team.

I was thinking about this this morning. The MWC is in bad shape. Utah struggles to beat Navy; New Mexico plays in a gimme bowl against Nevada. Our conference champion, the team that hasn't lost in conference for over two years, eeks out a win against the Pac-10's 157th place team. It's December 23 and the MWC bowl games are over. We're bad AND we're irrelevant.

TCU still has to play I think.

AFA plays Cal.

I disagree about the conference being in bad shape, especially when it comes to bowl games. Should AFA and TCU get wins, the conference will be sitting at 5-0 in the post season. Undefeated in bowl games - no matter the opponent - is a solid performance.

Agreed. As Bronco has said, progression is a step-by-step process. The important thing is that we win the games, no matter the competition. Next, we improve the competition.

Bronco is a prophet. All MWC schools would do well to follow his guidance.
