candidate from the MWC for a New Years 6 game. If they had lost to the 2nd best team (CSU), then no one from the MWC would have gone. If the only goal is to get to a New Years 6, then the strongest team should play the weakest team.

Bytheway, the MWC is lousy. I saw the 2 best MWC teams after Boise play the Utes. Fresno was surprisingly pathetic - they were destroyed on both sides of the line by Utah. The Giraffe threw for 5 TDs in the first half and never had to look for his second receiver (he can't do that very well anyway). Everyone was open all the time. Backups played the entire 2nd half. We also blew out CSU and I thought the Utes could have won by more than 42-10 if Travis didn't play such a lousy game.
