bc if not for ed reed playing superman. heck, 2002 ohio state should have been a 6 loss team, but they won the nc. it's so hard to win those games, that sometimes some teams just have "it". byu had "it".
it doesn't matter how you win, as long as you win. and byu won. the best evidence of their quality was that they were consistently placing players in the league. they were no fluke.
