What makes you think last years team would have performed any better in the MWC? We would have still missed a bowl

Fine. But most years would be more interesting.

And what would the same team in the MWC have to play for? We lose 1 or 2 games

It’s the exact same floor in the MWC with a much lower ceiling and a boring route to get there
