Even if they dont', why wouldn't USU become part of the Poll? USU is one school keeping a failing conference a float.
the poll is based on conferences not per team.
Exactly...
i dont understand your comment or you are just agreeing you dont comprehend what a conference is?
I realize that an entire conference is recognized as a Mid Major and not just a specific team in that conference. I was saying that Utah State, even though they have been highly competitive and a regional power for a decade, won't be able to keep the WAC from being, in the future, seen/recognized as a Mid-Major conference. You can't put lipstick on a pig. Just because Benson says something, doesn't exactly mean that that something which he is saying, is true. The WAC from last year (2010) to next year (2012) will have lost a ton, and will only be a shadow of its former self. Hawaii, Boise, Nevada, and Fresno are being replaced by UT Arlington, Texas State, UTSA, Denver, and Seattle?? Lets be honest these additions aren't improvements. The Sky, WCC, Horizon, Colonial are all Mid-Major Conferences that will be, or, already are, better than the WAC.
I wasn't trying to be dismissive or abusive. I'm pretty sure we agree on what a conference is, and why a conference is seen in a specific light. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. That wasn't my intention. Also, I wasn't trying to Aggie bash.
