Hey, interesting. From that very first story about the MWC:

None of these three criteria depend on the bowls in any manner whatsoever.

I hadn’t picked up on that before, but they’re right. It doesn’t matter how TCU and BSU do in the bowl game against each other. Nor would it matter how they did against BCS opponents. That changes the equation.

Time for me to re-evaluate.
