Hawaii can't schedule those games because no one is going to schedule a home and home with a WAC team which is an ocean away. Those games are being canceled in large part due to Hawaii's arrogance in scheduling. Hawaii is not a BCS team, they should not expect to be treated as such.

To BCS teams, Hawaii is and probably always will be just another WAC game -- an easy OOC win. The teams who have dropped decisions to Hawaii at home over the last few years?

Michigan State, Alabama, Purdue and Arizona State.

A fearsome foursome if ever I saw one. MSU has been miserable over the last few years. As I recall, Alabama played Hawaii while it was on probation and very down. Purdue and ASU (excepting this year for ASU) are not exactly contenders in their conferences.

"They" = Hawaii -- thanks for calling me on that, I actually had a professor last year who would have a coronary every time the word was uttered. I should know better.

At least last year, Boise State's BCS win came against what was a pretty darn good Oregon State team (which finished with a 10-4 record).

I don't mean to diminish what Hawaii has accomplished, I wish them luck in their bowl game. I hope they shut the arrogant SEC fans up, but I don't think that'll happen.
