2004 was different

Auburn was coming off a 8-5 season and went undefeated. USC and oklahoma were coming off of 12 win seasons and went undefeated. Different time than now bro. Going undefeated in the SEC and being held out of the national championship will never happen again. They have proven that they deserve to be in it for 5 years in a row. Just like no one will bump an undefeated LSU or Bama team out of it this year. An undefeated ACC team will get bumped this year by the big 10 (wisconsin), pac 10 (stanford), big 12 (oklahoma and oklahoma st), the sec (bama or lsu), and possibly boise as bad as their schedule is. So that leaves one conference that you could beat out for the national championship spot. It's the big east and you are taking teams from them. The only conference weaker than you? I'm just saying I don't think adding either team to your schedule will help you in the future.

Adding Texas A&M and Mizzou to your schedule on the other hand means something to the BCS. The computers are very high on the big 12. Always have been. Adding them to your conference adds credibility, not takes it away. Adding crap like Pitt and Syracuse to your conference chips away at the little bit of credibility you have in the acc. Those teams were added solely for basketball. You are kidding yourself if you think otherwise. You are also kidding yourself if you think adding pitt and syracuse were better football moves than adding texas a&m and mizzou. Just doesn't fly bro.
