A few steps? That would be the WAC. That's like saying the Central Hockey League is significantly lower than the ECHL. There's a dropoff but it's only slight. Define "meaningful". Last season: ECU beat NC State SMU beat Washington State Southern Miss beat Kansas Tulane beat Rutgers Tulsa beat Hawaii UCF beat UGA UTEP beat New Mexico This season: Houston beat UCLA Rice beat Purdue UCF beat BC Those lists include wins against AQ schools and current (or future) MWC schools. For reference, UTEP was the only C-USA team that played a MWC school (New Mexico). There's already 3 on the list for 2011 and we're just entering week 4. And since you're a fan of analyzing a current team's success, or lack there of, and what it means for a league they're no longer in, BYU is currently losing to UCF. BYU can walk off the cliff for all i care Ironically, i'm pulling for UCF!! TCU's Rose Bowl win dwarfs all those little C-usa victories in one fell swoop and on close inspection, I'll give you the ECU-NCSC game as a good victory, however no better then say Utah over Pitt or say TCU's victories over Oregon St,Baylor. I dunno, C-USA definetly jackboots the WAC. How can anyone say C-USA compares favorably with MWC? BCS appearences:(Yep, counting Boise here) MWC-5 or 6, depends on how you look at that one CUSA-Goose eggs Need i say more....
