plus Notre Dame obviously. I see where you're coming from, but for my own perspective it's tough to say teams like Syracuse, Pitt, West Virginia, even Rutgers that went straight from AQ to P5 conferences weren't legitimate wins.

That's my take and you're certainly entitled to your own though. Like I said, I appreciate the explanation. FWIW, Houston was never a member of the Big East.

All that aside, I agree very much with your overall point. What I had here was just nitpicking.
