They did not want Hawaii there, and Hawaii showed they shouldn't be there. SOS would have helped keep them out.

If Bronco dumbs down the schedule, the BCS criteria will change on him midstream, and BYU will be stuck with a crap schedule which will then count against them and keep them out of the BCS. I hope he can see the writing on the wall. Play the best you can, and beat them. That is the only sure-fire formula for a mid-major to crack the BCS.
Bronco doesn't want to get fired and then have to move his family all over the country chasing ephemeral ass. coaching gigs. All he cares about is job security, and keeping asses in the seats. He knows he's been living on luck, some amazing good fortune dropped into his lap, and clearly he's not a risk taker at heart.
