In 2008 San Diego went dancing because of an upset victory in the conference tournament. Before that? San Diego once again with an upset victory... in 2003! The BYU addition was a great move by the WCC to try and strengthen their profile.

Let's compare that to the MWC:

Just going back to 2015, Nevada, SDSU, Fresno State, Boise State, Wyoming. 2014, add UNM. 2013, add UNLV and Colorado State.

I rest my case.

And of those 5 teams since 2015- 3 of them only got in because they won their conference tourney. Nevada, Fresno, and Wyoming.

Nevada got in because they won their conference period. That is not a valid point because there is always going to be an auto-qualifier. How about all those years when Gonzaga made the lone appearance?

The fact remains that in the last ten years, hell we can go all the way back to 2002 when Pepperdine made an appearance to help your case, the MWC has 10/11 teams making tournament appearances (SJSU is hot garbage and hasn't been since their Big West days with an upset tourney victory and losing record) while the WCC has 5/10.

The MWC is much stronger top to bottom than the WCC and it's not even close.
