re: WVa & TCU > A&M & Mizzou

Lots of interesting (and predictable) responses, however, the OP said nothing about AAU, Academics, Fan Base, Brands, Potential, or any of that other crap. What I am talking about is performance on the field. And I don't care about 20 years ago, but am looking at recent history (since 2000).

TCU: BCS Bowls - 2 (1-1)
Wva: BCS Bowls - 3 (3-0)
Mizzou: BCS Bowls - 0
A&M: BCS Bowls - 0

In terms of performance on the field, the evidence is clear that adding TCU & West Virginia to the Big 12 has made it a stronger football conference. I'll even go 1 step further - Either TCU or WVa is better than either A&M & Mizzou in football. The Big 12 just became a better football conference.

@ using WVU BCS bowl records when they get free passes every year because of the weakness of the Big East.

What about the season where WVU was ranked below Mizzou in the BCS ranking but went ahead of them to BCS games because of the idiocy of the system?
Or this year when they get to play Clemson in a 'BCS bowl' while K-St. and Arkansas get pushed to the Cotton Bowl?
