and while Virginia and Miami weren't horrible in games against talented opponents....they still lost.
Clemson, on the other hand, did manage to to follow up their Week1 win over the always-dominant North Texas with a Week2 score over mighty Presbyterian.
So let's say (hypothetically) that Clemson runs the table and goes undefeated and there is only one other major-conference unbeaten....we'll say Oklahoma. Does Clemson deserve a shot at the championship game or should they, like Boise, be passed over by a one-loss SEC team, because the ACC sucks?

Texas which is the biggest NCAA football program out there plays 2 teams this year ranked in the top 25. Assuming they get to the Big 12 championship game against Nebraska they will play 3 ranked teams including the same team twice. They also play powerhouses Rice, Wyoming, UCLA (who lost at home to Stanford 35-0), Iowa State (who lost to iowa 35-7), Baylor (who is probably going to be a 18pt underdog to TCU this week), Kansas state (who was less than impressive against UCLA which stinks), Florida Atlantic (a sunbelt team), Ok state (who just beat Troy by 3) and texas A&M. Tougher than Boise's schedule? Yeah but hardly the gauntlet that you'd be led to believe that every BCS conference school plays.
And America wants to see them as well
