The MWC was actually better than it usually is this year. The MWC schedule has the greatest impact on SOS. It could have been easy for our SOS to drop in the 80's this year, like it was in 2001 even though we had two BCS schools on the schedule.

I agree with woot.

No, I think your comment that the only way BYU could have a worse schedule would be to schedule a D-II team is ignorant. Especially when half the teams in D-IA had worse schedules than BYU.
