OK - how many did the following teams go to before being invited?
Louisville, Cincinnati, UConn, Temple, South Florida, Central Florida, Houston, or SMU?
Each of these teams were invited and participated in a BCS level conference for at least one season. Name something - anything - that was on the field related (such as going to a BCS game) that got them their invite....
Not to mention that other teams like Tulsa, Tulane, Navy, Memphis, ECU, and even BSU & SDSU were invited while they were still a BCS league even if they never joined or didn't join until after they were demoted....
This would be a very hard case to make and I wouldn't envy the foolishness someone would have to go through to try to prove it was much other than geography, market and other off field demographics (academic/religion/affiliation)....on field performance had very little to do with any of those if you wanted to stack them up and compare to BYU....
Certainly a few of those schools would be above BYU on the court in men's & women's basketball but I'm doubtful any other sport, that BYU plays, would see any of those others listed as significantly better programs than BYU....
