Maybe not as wuss when compared to the CUSA or the WAC...but not by much.

Umm, the WAC was 4-0 in the bowls this year and the MAC 2-0.

Look, if you compare bowls you'll find teams that play in wuss conferences that have a whole year to prepare for their one contest. That they win after having a year to avoid injuries together by playing Sister Mary of the Blind colleges is not all that surprising. I root for a team playing in a wuss football conference--the Seminoles, in the ACC--so I know whereof I speak. The system is set up right now so that it's better to be in a wuss conference so as to improve your shot at a national title.

One day, a playoff will come, and then playing football in a good conference will make more sense. Why not be TCU or BYU in the meantime, if you're going to get ranked playing one or two games a year against quality opponents and have a shot at the crystal football?
