The Mtn West was the most successful of the non-BCS conferences this season, racking up 8 wins vs BCS conferences including a solid win over Virginia for Wyoming to start the season. Only one of their losses was to a team that was in the red, which means they won they games they should've. Well done.

Ah, the Sun Belt. You can count their non-conf wins on two hands (though the win over Alabama is huge). A ton of losses, but only three were to bad teams, including one DI-AA.

The WAC only had two wins over teams in the blue - pathetic. No real horrible losses though - pretty much an uneventful non-conf year for the WAC.

Using the categories we've been working with, let's put this in a form that makes comparison a bit easier.
