Joe Lunardi has the MWC this year with ONE BID! Utah State as the AQ, is the MWC really that weak this year?

Yes from OOC. But I suspect there will be 2 by the end of the season.

If Utah State wins the conference tournament, we are probably a one bid league this year.

Way too early to say that

Agreed. Thinking 3 bids this year...hopefully we can see some WYO magic in Vegas and be one of those. I just don't think you are going to keep three of SDSU, NM, CSewe, Utard State and Donkie State out of the dance.

You are probably right, but the MWC's performance in non-conference games this year has not been very good.

All of the better teams in the conference have "bad losses" that are going to hurt their chances come tournament time. SDSU has a loss to Troy. BSU lost that game to Hawaii Pacific to open the season. CSU lost to Denver at home. UNM lost to New Mexico State.

And there aren't any "great wins" that jump out other than BSU. Those four teams can all beat up on each other in conference play, but I don't know that helps them much when all the teams in the MWC are pretty mediocre this year.

What's interesting is that I do not think that Boise's loss to Hawaii Pacific counts in the standings or NET rankings. I think it is on the books as a scrimmage. At the same time, if they're on the bubble with a handful of teams, how do you overlook something like that?

This is correct, the Boise loss is not factored into the NET

Lunardi does this to the MW every year, and every year we get at least 3.
