Northern Illinois and Cincinnati are the other two. You can also say that

7/29/15 2:08pm

Cincy was Big East (BCS league) when they did it

I keyed on non-BCS as well - the ones I've responded to pointing it out were BCS

BYUFam1

7/29/15 2:27pm

If you're going to count Cinci, then UCONN would be on the list

Getting there as a member of BCS BE is not nearly the...

It wasn't really much of an accomplishment for Hawaii or NIU.

FrankenCoug

7/29/15 2:16pm

But BSU, Utah, TCU, and even UCF have been impressive

Perception boost of being in the Big East for USF while UCF was CUSA

BSU used an automatic bid last year

concolor couguar

7/29/15 2:16pm

Except BSU 2009 all BCS busters auto qualified per BCS rules

I know the Cotton Bowl in 1996/97 wasn't counted as a "major" bowl game
