    Would You Call This AQ Worthy?

    I want to move around just one conference: The MWC. When Realignments were going on, I realized the MWC had the potential to become great. HOwever, I am not sure if this conference is worthy of an AQ Bid. Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

    MWC

    North:
    Boise State
    BYU
    Utah
    Air Force
    Colorado State
    Utah State

    South:
    TCU
    Hawaii
    San Diego State
    Fresno State
    Nevada
    UTEP

    Wyoming, New Meico, and UNLV join the WAC.
    Troy Joins Conference USA


    Would you give this MWC an AQ bid over the Big East? ACC? SEC? Big 12? B1G? Or Nope?

    Thanks! I just root for a bunch of these teams, so I am biased and would give it an AQ, but I don't want the AQ to be undeserved.

    AQ in its own right or taking an AQ spot away from another conference?

    If you're trying to take the Big East's (your best/fairest shot), I'd say probably not, but then again you are taking TCU away from them. If you're just taking an open At-Large spot, then maybe. It's a borderline call in my eyes, but I could see other fans going for it.

      Well it would make it much more difficult for BSU, TCU and Utah to run the table. I would say take one away from the Big East but I think they'll improve over the next couple of years.

        With Boise State, BYU, TCU, Nevada and San Diego State, I think it could be. I mean, it's a bit of a stretch though. :P

          One could argue this would beat the Big East for AQ status, but you could also make a case against it. Definitely doesn't beat any of the other conferences.

              It looks good, but it's not AQ material.

                Hawaii's, Utah's, TCU's and Boise's 7 BCS bids in the last 7 years say otherwise to me. I wouldn't necessarily take the Big East's, though they've been pitiful compared to those above, but I'd say this should get a spot. It also doesn't hurt that since the BCS went in place and you consider the new buster criteria, TCU was also eligible for another three bids, BYU for one, and Boise for another three. Putting all that into a single conference? It's a shame if people immediately discredit it just because of the names of the team in the conference.

                  Take away TCU and Boise, this conference is really weak. Other than those two, if any other team were to make it to a BCS bowl they'd probably lose. I don't even see any other team in this conference being able to challenge TCU and Boise (other than themselves), so they'd be the in BCS every single year.

                      Lately, they've been getting owned by ranked opponents. Let's just see what happens to them in the Pac 12 this year

                        i'd give that MWC an AQ over the big east. Boise, TCU and Utah can probably probably dominate most big east teams and that gives them the upper hand over what's left of the Big East football.

                          you could say the same thing about the Big East too, except, you don't have to remove anyone to say they'd be a mediocre conference. their play on the field the last few seasons has proven that.

                            I'd disagree here. Every conference has their traditional power teams (Ohio State, Florida, LSU, Bama, Texas, Oklahoma, FSU, Miami, USC, etc). But Nevada just finished a one loss year, Hawaii has been ranked the past couple of years (On and off), Utah is consistent, BYU has a Title, and SDSU is really picking up.

                            Granted, it is a top-Heavy conference, but so are most. And are the bottom teams pretty bad? Some are, like UTEP (Bowl Loss This Year) or Utah State, but others, Colorado State and Air Force, have had some success over history.

                              They were 4-4 against ranked teams dating back to 2008. Not terrible at all
