Think about this. The New Big East, if the teams win over the next few days could conceivably have 7 bowl eligible teams (Syracuse and South Florida still have the possibility) and would only have one team with a losing record (still a possibility for Syracuse and South Florida). The Mountain West conference has FIVE of their 8 teams with losing records, technically 5 of 9 since TCU will join the conference. Now, obviously, it's hard to completely compare since the conferences aren't completely together but it's staggering to have a conference that has over half their teams with a losing record. The Big East would have two Top 25 teams, the Mountain West one. And people will constantly bring up Utah, but Louisville is also in the BCS Top 10. The Mountain West is god awful. One 7-4 team, and one 6-5 team outside of Utah. And they believe, and some internet people they will take the Big East's BCS bid? I mean, this is how the conferences would look if they were together:

Mountain West Conference
#6 Utah 11-0
New Mexico 7-4
Wyoming 6-5
TCU 5-5
BYU 5-6
AFU 5-6
CSU 4-7
SDSU 4-7
UNLV 2-9

Big East Conference
#10 Louisville 8-1
#21 West Virginia 8-2
Pittsburgh 6-3
Connecticut 7-4
Cincinnati 6-4
Syracuse 5-5
South Florida 4-5
Rutgers 5-6

And some of those Big East schools are having down years by their standards or are on the upswing. That conference would have 5 bowl eligible teams with the possibility of a 6th and 7th. I'm not hyping the Big East so much as pointing out that the people who are giddy about the Mountain West replacing the Big East in the BCS (mostly the Mountain West fans), need to look at that. I've heard people mention the Mountain West's strong OOC schedule, but the Big East's OOC schedule wasn't exactly soft either, having had Virginia, Ohio State, Florida State, Maryland, South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Michigan State, Navy, Nebraska, Georgia Tech, Miami-FL, Purdue among others on the schedule.
