Utah's 3 losses in a 10-3 season came by a combined 101-13 to TCU (47-7), Notre Dame (28-3) and Boise State (26-3). They may find themselves as the perennial doormat in the PAC-10.
I find it ironic, to say the least, that Boise State tried to find a better conference than the WAC and wound up in nothing more than a new, and only slightly improved, WAC. Had Utah, TCU and BYU stayed, the MWC would have quickly become the next automatic qualifier conference of the BCS. Now, CUSA has a better shot than the Mounatin West (and that's not much of a shot).
Unlike the realignment that occurred a few years ago, none of this year's conference switches made sense.
By the way, is there a hat trick of conference membership? If so, we should all be throwing hats on the floor to congratulate TCU which has now been a member of the WAC, CUSA, Mountain West and Big East - all since 2000.
The MWC's chances of being an AQ have certainly dropped. But not through the floor. SD State looks like they could be a Top 20 team by week four of 2011. They do have TCU for 2011 and in 2012, a rising Nevada team and a decent Fresno State.
