I don't agree a lot of the time with what Ms. Graham Watson from ESPN has to say, nor do I go along with her game predictions, but when she states the obvious I'll agree with her any day of the week.
So, in her latest blog entry, which I completely agree with, she points to the MWC's success in bowl games (and regular season) as proof that TCU, Utah and BYU (and the rest of the league) deserves to dance with the big boys of the SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10, and the Big (Little) East.
