I think people (including me) are just defaulting to name recognition in thinking that dominating C-USA is more important than dominating the WAC.

I like Utah State's resume better. Much better OOC schedule, better marquee win (BYU vs. UAB). Similar everywhere else. Both teams should be in, regardless, if they are regular season champions. In fact I'd say UNI, USU, UTEP, and ODU are all pretty safe barring a dreadful flameout in their conference tournaments. You just can't tell me that these conference champs of good mid majors should be excluded for a Notre Dame or Virginia Tech this year.
