Here is another interesting link from the same site. Question #2

If each of the BCS conferences were going to add 1 mid major team, either by expanding or replacing a current team, who would go where? If each of the BCS conferences were going to add 1 mid major team, either by expanding or replacing a current team, who would go where?
Stupid punctuation problem!
I'm not going to retyp this. Notice four MWC teams are slotted into BCS conferences and all the WAC got was an honorable mention (BSU). One bit of irony is that he puts CSU in the BIG-12 (along with TCU) but AF, NW, and WY have all been better than CSU for several years now. I actually think that if the MWC were a BCS conference they would consistently be better than the Big East and be at least as good if not better than the ACC. I would actually put them on par with the Big 10.
I think it is amazing how well the MWC teams have done considering the disadvantages they must overcome before the first snap of the season.
My list would go
1. SEC
2. PAC10
3. BIG 12
4. BIG 10
4. MWC
6. ACC
7. Big East
If FLA St. and Miami ever recover-which I don't think they will-then they would be number four and the Big 10 and MWC would tie at 6. Of course by then TCU, Utah, and BYU would become very strong programs because of the BCS affiliation and might keep the conference at number four and possibly push for number 3. Other MWC teams would improve-NM, AF, WY, and to a lesser degree, SDSt. I just don't see any hope for UNLV. John Robinson couldn't do much with them and I don't see Sanford doing any better. Regardless of what you think/thought of Robinson, he was a huge get for UNLV and still couldn't turn them around.
