Which Non-BSC team has the best chance of making a BCS Bowl game?

As much as I'd like to say Boise State, I'm going to have to go with Hawaii on this. Obviously, the main reason for this prediction is their Heisman canidate, Colt Brennan. The Record Setting QB will be back for his Senior Season. He threw for over 5,500 yards and 58 TD's compared to only 12 INT's. He had an incredible 185.96 QB Rating. Hawaii returns 3 starting receivers, 2 of which, Davone Bass and Jason Rivers, had over 1000 yards. Their O-Line only gave up a sack every 22 attempts last year, and will continue to be very good. The Defense returns 8 starters and will continue to show the improvement that they showed under Glanville. The only game that will be really tough for them is the Boise State game November 23 in Hawaii. I see Hawaii finishing the year undefeated and going to a BCS Bowl Game behind the Arm of Colt Brennan.

Hawaii is playing like Charleston Southern or something this week. They just play alot of schools like that, no real competition. Their QB puts up great stats, but reminds me of when Neil Lomax was throwing 14TD's a game for Portland State. Look at their competition.
Realistically, I don't think any non-BCS team will make one. I'll go with Air Force. Their off to an excellent start. They play a tougher schedule. If they can run the table or at least finish undefeated in MWC play.

Well, it's not like Hawaii is playing schools like that every week. Most people aren't aware of Hawaii's games, since they're always at, like, 11:00 on the East Coast. They do have just as tough a schedule as most non-BSC teams, though, as Boise State and Fresno State are both very respectable teams. They also play Utah, who has looked good so far this year. Hawaii was higher ranked at the beginning of the season than Air Force was, and, like I said, they are an extremely talented team.

Check your schedule Panthrfan. They play Utah STATE - who are hardly in Utah's class. Without getting into a WAC/MWC who's tougher debate, (MWC In my opinion) I'll just say the BCS would drool at the chance to get one of the Service Academies in one of their games. IF they can finish undefeated or nearly undefeated, which is unknown right now. Hawaii just doesn't have the draw to a BCS game like Air Force would. The Crowd they could have. The $ they could make. Air Force is a more attractive choice

Ok, I'm sorry about the Utah thing. Hmm. It really doesn't look like people agree with me on this one, but they should really hear me out. Hawaii is 25th right now, and they will only keep going up while people in front of them lose, and Colt Brennan keeps dominating. He has a good chance at winning the heisman if they go undefeated, and they would love to have the heisman trophy winner in a BSC Bowl. Who knows, they could upset like the Boise State's of last year.

There's plenty of QB's with gaudy stats at there to run for Heisman besides Brennan. Brennan just doesn't play any stiff competition. McFadden is avging 6 yards a carry. What about the QB for Kentucky? 11 TD's vs. 0 Int's? Playing Way better opponents. No. Brennan will not win Heisman unless everybody else gets hurt. Hawaii will not see BCS Bowl.

Why? They already lost. They needed to go undefeated to make a BCS Bowl Game. They have no shot now.
