So what makes the WCC better the last few years? Just because they get three teams? They have no where near the front end strength. I also believe the mid pack schools (Montana State, Portland State, Idaho, EWU, etc.) schools in the Big Sky are better than the WCC (Pepperdine, St. Marys, Loyola Marymount, USF).
