But the 6th place team from a good conference (or the 1st place team in the 9th best conference in the case of Pitt) is a cupcake. BYU isn't perfect against its bowl schedule, but at least while Utah was building its great bowl win resume as the 3rd option from the MWC, BYU was playing more difficult teams in the LVB and sometimes losing.

There is a reason Kwitt was always saying that he didn't want to go to the LV bowl.
