ASU finished tied for first in the Pac-10 last year, with a 10-3 overall record and 7-2 conference record. They finished the season ranked #16 The only reason they didn't go to the Rose Bowl was because they lost to USC head to head. They had the same conference record as USC. Conneticut finished 2nd in the Big East and 9-4 overall.
Both schools are far better than the entire Sun Belt conference, which seems to be the prefered whipping boys of the SEC. The Big 10 likes to beat up on the Mid American conference teams. Neither of those conferences are BCS.
ND has yet to schedule a D-1AA school, which many of the SEC and Big-10 folks did last year.
Last year ND finished i believe in the top 10 in strength of schedule.
The only school on our schedule this year not in a BCS conf is SDSU and Navy. And to be fair to Navy, they can hold their own with most BCS schools.
So, that's fine if you feel ND schedules soft teams, but it's not a feeling based on facts. Get your facts straight.
