Thank a Froggie today.

I'm still curious how the Frogs ended the season ranked. A loss to a good-but-not-great Southern Miss team. A skin-of-their-teeth squeaker against SMU. A loss in their bowl-at-home game. There have to be 25 teams better than they are.

Snoop Doggy Dog's ad campaign kept their name in the media and reminded pollsters they were out there. I noticed Miami of Ohio ended up 12, Boise 15, Utah 22, TCU 25. No future Big East teams in top 15. So, if the BE loses its BCS status then according to this scenario the MAC or the WAC would be the conference most likely to be invited not the MWC.

If you put Boise State, Utah & TCU in the MWC, it places three in top 25 - pretty impressive. I don't think that matters (outside of BYU which has it's own network) none of the schools have a large following thus don't bring TV sets to the table for the BCS. We shouldn't knock the MWC for it's teams but for it's markets which is what Disney (ABC/ESPN) is looking at in the first place.
