The particilar record of a conference in bowls doesn't mean a whole lot. For example, Tennessee had the 5th best record in the SEC...not one of their better teams. Hardly worthy of basing much on.
So what if the WAC goes 3-1....aside from Boise St, they didn't really accomplish much....their 2nd place team played the 6th team in the PAC which is usually only 2-3 strong (not exactly earth shattering). And their 3rd place team playing the 5th place Mountain West team...(a pretty weak conference).
Except for Boise St., the other WAC teams would be at/near the bottom if they competed in the big conferences....they wouldn't have enough wins to even go to a bowl game.
Also, does anyone have any delusion that Boise St. could have made a game against Florida? Maybe better than Ohio St. did...(never mind that the popular argument was that BSU should have been in the game rather than Florida). BSU's schedule wasn't half the schedule Fla. played. No way they'd have been undefeated if they played in the SEC or Big Ten.
