A brief list of potential tiebreakers for the Mountain West football title game

You might have heard that some relics of college football's past are responsible for deciding the location of this year's championship game. Look, conference record and margin of victory against common opponents might make more sense than continuing to utilize some of the old BCS computers. Math is hard!

Here at Mountain West Connection, though, we aren't satisfied until we've exhausted all possible options. With that in mind, here are some tiebreakers that Craig Thompson could consider for the next such situation. You're welcome in advance.
