How Does Going Independent Affect BYU Football's National Championship Hopes?

And, this candidate waddles away from politics to weigh in on the day's biggest news story.

BYU's football program going independent.

It seems to me, the biggest consideration should be how it affects the chance to play for the national title. If BYU were to stay in the MWC, what with Boise State and TCU making the conference arguably as tough as any, it might well be the BCS would shortly be forced to grant the conference an automatic berth in a bowl.

But, a BCS bowl isn't necessarily the national championship game.

Running the table is the only way to qualify. Which would be easier, running the table in the MWC, or as an independent? Which spot, staying in the MWC or going independent, puts BYU in better position for a bid not just to a BCS game, but to the national title game?

Do not know. But I think that should be the chief consideration, bigger than how much revenue you can make.
