It is a travesty that BYU, at 10-2, has to play the 5th-place team in the PAC-10, a league the MWC owned this season. Ridiculous. A few bad bounces of the ball, and Utah is in the same boat. Maybe someday things will be better.

BYU, I feel your pain

BYu did not earn a marquee bowl this year, but the current pairings for the MWC are pathetic.
The league champion is automatically paired with the 4th place team from the PAC10? how awful is that?
I would have been pleased with a BSU matchup. At least the opponent is interesting.
TCU should also be pissed. It didn't even get an invite to its own conference bowl tie-in.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.
