The WAC went 3-1 with the only loss by 1 point.

People need to start changing their thinking. The so-called "power conferences" are disappearing with the NCAA reduction in D1 scholarships. The talent pool is getting spread out to more schools. The rise of the WAC in football and the Missouri Valley in basketball are good examples of this.

People need to stop assuming one team is better than another or that one conference is superior simply because of the name and tenure.
The #1 place that this unfair bias shows up is in preseason polls. Teams should have to play four or five games before they are eligible to be ranked.
