I like the under dog success story. Their school has done well throughout their history and especially the last two years but that IMO isn't enough to get a piece of the desired pie. The BCS is confusing to me but the guidlines are put out there for everyone to play by and your either in or out.
They need to move to the Big East in 2012(I think) and start playing better teams and getting into an automatic bid conference. Lets see how they fair with teams in that Conference who will play harder and want to thump the new guys.
They deserve to be named in any conversation about playing their best but I don't think they played the best. JMHO.
