There is no auto-playoff spot for the Pac—it's the top 6 conference champs from any conference. So—in theory—MW teams have at least as good a shot at the playoff in their current conference. Obviously the (soon-to-be) current setup biases power conferences, but who knows what the Pac will look like (or be perceived as) in a couple years.
The MWC would come, even it was only on temporary basis so long as it meant the Px kept its auto playoff spot for at least the next 5 or so years.
