Let's assume BYU, again, is the only roadbump to a perfect season. They'll get a #1 seed in the dance again, they'll have amazing recruiting, it hurts nothing. But a loss to BYU all but guarantees that we go dancing too making the WCC a 2 bid league this year where that looks like it may be in jeopardy.
Doesn't a stronger WCC, a 2 bid league help the more than a single loss which wont' derail a single thing about the zags season?
I know, they'd never throw the game...just deep thoughts by Jack handy.
