The big change in the conference race this weekend was the Mtn West going 7-1 (and 4-0 against the Pac 10). Stellar work. The D1-AA Cupcakes lost another ten games to the bowl subdivision, giving them just 2 wins out of 65 games this season. Because of the Mtn West's fine work, non-BCS confs are now 14 of 64 (22%) against the BCS conferences. Despite the horrible weekend for the Pac 10, they still lead all conferences in SoS, so at least they have that.
