Unless anyone has an example you have to do both. Also the marquee games typically come first so you have to do them before you ever have to worry about a conference championship factoring into anything. If you win the conference and don’t get to go to a NY6 game I don’t think that’s particularly rewarding and I don’t think people will be remembering it for years to come as they would a victory over FSU, Miami, Auburn, Clemson, Notre Dame or countless others. Deep down in your heart of hearts there is no way you would not have traded the 64-12 beating we put down on you for the CUSA championship you got that same year.

In 2013 UCF lost the marquee regular season game to at the time #12 South Carolina and still went on to win the conference and the (at the time) BCS bowl against Baylor. I would not trade any one of the 8 conference wins that earned us a conference championship and the game against Baylor just to say that we once upon a time beat #12 South Carolina.

Nobody remembers that we lost to South Carolina. Everyone remembers that we shocked the world and took down Baylor in the biggest upset of the BCS era. 

Just wanted to register so I could say you guys played an amazing game last night. Every USF fan I met at the game was super nice and respectful and fun to chat with. Your fans and your team showed up in a great way. I was not expecting either and I wish you guys the best of luck in your bowl game. QF is truly a special player.
