No, but I'm not sure it really matters. Rosie O'Donnell and Rosanne Barr are both overweight unattractive women. I'm not really concerned about ranking them in comparison to each other.

I choose Roseanne.

Hawaii was not nearly as good as either Utah in 04 or Boise last year. For one thing, playing in Hawaii is like playing in a foreign country, with the jet lag and all. It's hell to play there and Hawaii really has a home field advantage on steriods.

Hawaii is definitely the worst of the 3 non-BCS BCS bowl teams.

Throw BYU, Utah, TCU, Air Force, Boise St, Fresno St, C Florida, Tulsa, Florida Atlantic, C Michigan, and Hawaii into a hypothetical Royal Rumble, and Hawaii might finish middle of the pack.

BYU would be an underdog if they played in Honolulu.

If your schedule is ranked dead last out of 119 other schools, and if you looked terrible in several of the wins (LaTech, Nevada, etc.), then you can absolutely go 12-0 and not be a top 25 team.

Personally, I don't think Hawaii was top 40.

Honestly, how good was BYU in 1984? Were they really a top 10 team, let alone #1?

But not if they played in ANY of the other 49 states, Saskatchewan, or the Ivory Coast.

Maybe the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl should seek inclusion in the BCS.

..as saying BYU in 1984 probably wasn't #1. They were certainly in the top 10 legitimately, which they proved in 1984 and surrounding seasons.

Hawaii proved absolutely ZERO this year. I'm not sure why you defend their abominable schedule and iffy results (MOV in several games).

I'm seriously baffled by it. No, really.
