I was a bit puzzled at first about the Big East comment but after reading it again I could tell he meant BCS.

If TCU does win Conference USA this year then I would say that would put the MWC over the top and they should get a BCS bid. Even without TCU they probably deserve it. They have played alot of BCS schools this year and have won alot of those games. Wyoming even beat Ole Miss! At any rate they sure deserve it more than the Big East.

They have played alot of BCS schools this year and have won alot of those games. Wyoming even beat Ole Miss! At any rate they sure deserve it more than the Big East. Man, I'd love for us to win C-USA. And with Memphis losing to UAB, if we run the table for the rest of the season, we'd at least tie with Memphis or Louisville and/or Southern Miss (who play Memphis and us but not one another) for conference champs if not win it outright. But I doubt that will happen. Either way, as you said, the MWC is already more deserving than the Big East. Next year, the Big East will lose Boston College (a bad thing for the conference) and gain Louisville (a definite plus), South Florida (I used to think this wasn't that great an addition, but I'm not too sure right now), and Cincinnati (another one I'm not so sure about), making next year's Big East a bit better than this year's...but still not as good as the Mountain West. The MWC is not losing anyone, but instead is gaining TCU, a team that has been in the top 25 I think 5 out of the past 7 seasons, more consistent than any other mid-major (we're just having a down year, 'twould seem). So I think the addition of TCU could do nothing but help push the MWC well past the Big East, or at least have no negative effect.

Regaurdless of TCU entering the MCW. It would not make a difference either way in getting into the BCS. The only way its going to change is if A mid major goes undefeated. Then it will be interesting to see what develops out of that.

TCU will be a big plus for the MWC. I hope the Frogs can fix some of their current problems, and get back to where they should be......at the top of CUSA. TCU should do very well in the MWC. CUSA is losing far too much, and will be no more than mediocre after all is said and done.

Thank ya I appreciate the hospitality. We wont win the conferece, I think we will finish somewhere in the middle. (Ill say 4th) But its an improvement. Our offense has always been pretty good and we usually lead the conference (or somewhere at the top atleast) in passing, but our defense is less than desirable. But thinkgs are looking up and we are slowly turning things around. I see us as a top competitor in 2-3 years. Good luck to you WyoCowpoke. Good to have some more MWC fans on the board.

CUSA is losing far too much, and will be no more than mediocre after all is said and done. Thanks. Yeah, we Frog fans are hoping this is another 2002. In 2002 (my freshman year here), we lost our opening game to Cincy, then turned things around and went on an 8-game winning streak. Then we went and lost to friggin' East Carolina (a game we should NOT have lost, much like South Florida last weekend), and then turned around and beat Memphis to earn the invite to the Liberty Bowl and then beat Colorado State in the bowl game. We're hoping this season ends up like that: We stumbled a bit, but if we can fix our problems and run the table the rest of the time, we end up tying with one or two teams for C-USA championship, and we might end up going to Memphis again (we brought a lot of money into that city two years ago, so I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they'd want us back over Southern Miss or Memphis...Louisville I'm not so sure). As for C-USA itself...I hope Southern Miss, Memphis and even Houston find a way out of that conference in the next few years.
