Well I'm a firm believer that as long as your opponent and the fans of your opponent respect the effort your team brings to the table then the talking heads can bugger off. I mean if the heads had even bothered to take a look at BGSU they'd see that Oklahoma held you to your second lowest scoring output of the season, and it would have been the lowest had the offense not semi self destructed during the NIU game for a huge chunk of the game in the middle, but that part is neither here nor there.
The problem with the heads and the 'mid-majors' is twofold I think..one, a midmajor has to be undefeated for practically the entire season to get any props out of these guys, and then when they do the Trev Alberts' of the world will go on and on about how the same team w/ the same talent wouldn't have as good a record in a BCS conference if they were in there...not taking into account that if those teams were in a BCS conference, they'd likely be able to get not necessarily better talent, but have a better shot at getting better backup talent to go with the talent they've already got.

We could go undefeated, with Oklahoma, Florida state, Miami, Ohio state as our OOC games each year, and there would be no way we would get anything.
If those were all road games, you'd get huge run as the premiere bcs buster, and everyone would forget boise state and their horrid blue field.

Still though, if we were to ever have a schedule like that and go undefeated and not be ranked up high and end up in one of the 4 big BCS bowls, the entire Nation would realize how screwed up it is. That one could easily be the cause of the termination of the BCS and instead going to the playoff system or something. If any other team beat 3 of those teams and a replacement one for the OSU game, they would easily be sitting in the top 5 of the country IMO!
