Not sure I understand how you think that the strength of the top of the MWC invalidates this. And my proposal would give TCU at least one strong nonconference matchup a year. When I say "Imagine if TCU had had to play a couple SEC teams" I was not implying TCU would lose these. They would have probably won. Or not, but either way we would know more about how to seed TCU in the process.

Imagine if TCU had had to play a couple SEC teams or Cincy a couple Big-12 teams and so on. Meaningful interconference play during the season would help bowl seeding dramatically.</b> The failure is teams refusing to play TCU. As far as TCU, they would dominate in the PAC-10, ACC & Big East. Not sure your pont is valid since the top of the MWC is very good.
