It wasn't jsut Boise. We were ranked ahead of Army even with 2 losses, and many had us ahead of Tulane with both with 2 losses, though the CFP ranking did not.The only reason that the AAC wasn't in front of the MWC was due to BSU having a very high rating due to the one game played verse Oregon. Remove BSU and the rest of the MWC didn't do anything. When the MWC breaks to the PAC, they will have BSU and a bunch of SCRUBS (sorry, pun intended!). Depending on being able to get NIU and one other team from back east, I do not believe there will be that noticeable of a difference between the MWC and the PAC on a national level. The bottom line is that UNLV must be as good as they were this year or better. As for BSU, remove the wins over UNLV, and they didn't beat a single team ranked in the top 40.
NIU doesn't move the needle much for me. They were a 100+ level team. It doesn't seem that their brand draws a lot of eyeballs. Being in another timezone is nice but does it matter if you are grabbing a small fan base with it?
They are upper middle team in a conference that is worth less media value than the current MW. At best they would be the average value if the new MW with all factors considered
