Illinois with a better record than the Chicago Bears in October? WOW!

I was excited by all of the undefeated non-traditional football powers this season: Hawaii, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Rutgers, Boise State, SOUTH FLORIDA! Slowly, the list dwindles diminishing the chances of one of these teams getting a shot at a national championship. I keep hoping for a BCS Championship involving one of these types of teams. Louisville had a chance last year but lost to Rutgers late in the season. Boise State was last year's lone unbeaten team but not ranked high enough for a shot at a BCS title. South Florida, at #5 in both polls this week, currently looks like this year's Cinderella...but with Rutgers, Cincinnati, and Louisville on their remaining schedule, they have a tough road ahead of them.

Do these teams DESERVE a shot at a national championship? Are they truly the best team in the land?
