You do realized every team in the MWC and WCC gets hyped up just to play the BYUs and Gonzagas right. Gonzaga pushed for this schedule so our tournament bid or seeding is not lost to a freak game against USD, Air Force, Wyoming, Portland, etc. Every conference would be smart to use the WCC model. This is the only model that gives you credit for dominating during conference games. If Portland could have gone from 0-11 to winning 5 straight games against superior teams then more power to them.
