When BYU was in the WAC and MWC it was always an issue to make every team had BYU on their schedule. IMO I guarantee with BYU the MWC would go to a nine game schedule.
Year in and year out BYU will play a stronger schedule in Independence vs. MWC. We already have BSU, USU on the schedule for years to come. No way wyo, nm, unlv, uh, csu, nev, sjsu adds more value in the schedule. AFA and sdsu on occasion will help.
IMO I am very confident the MWC conf would not be strong enough to finish for a spot in the playoffs. The new playoff system is to eliminate the non-big five conf.
