A lot of good coaches have flowed into the league like in early 2000s. Seeing that difference with Miles at SJSU, Pitino has really done a nice job cheating at New Mexico...I kid...speaking of cheating, Alford is having a bounce back year at Nevada and Odom has proven his mettle in Logan. According to espn.com, the Mountain West alone has five teams in Bubble Watch. San Diego State, Boise State, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah State are all vying for bids. Coupled with stalwarts Dutcher and Rice. Cowboys will be back in the mix next year. Linder is too good.
