Perhaps you believe that on average, year in and year out, the MWC, CUSA, Big Sky, etc are actually on par with the BCS conferences? Just as deep, just as talented, etc.

You are obviously free to believe as you wish, but I will simply disagree that the MWC is not a mid-major. For if it were not, then the only alternative would be that it is an equal conference to the other BCS conferences. And that, amigo, is laughable.
the MWC against the BCS this season: 7-3. Not laughable, my friend. BYU, Utah or TCU would all have a good shot at winning the PAC 10, Big East, ACC or Big 10 this year. The MWC is closer to the BCS leagues than they are to the WAC, Sunbelt or MAC. You would probably want to argue otherwise, but the data at least this year doesn't back that up. Really, it hasn't for years. The WAC usually has one or two decent teams, but the rest is pathetic. Even "bad" MWC teams like UNLV can go on the road and beat a ranked ASU. You couldn't say that about any of the also rans from any other non-BCS leagues.
