I would say that the term "mid major" is pretty generous. It implies that there is even a shred of "major" involved.

So let's throw out most BCS teams then. Not many of them have won national chamipionships since WW2 either, if that's your standard. The problem I have with this blanket labeling is that it gives fans the idea that every team from a BCS conference is automatically better than any team not in a BCS league. This season is proving how false that idea is. You may know and care about BYU's history and tradition, but if we were to play a bad BCS conference team back east like Duke or Vanderbilt, how much do you want to bet you could poll the fans of those teams and 80-90% would think they should kick our butts? That's all due to BCS media hype, mostly from ESPN.
