The goal, of course, is to be invited as an at-large to one of the BCS bowls....
5. LOUISVILLE STUNS NO. 4 FLORIDA STATE (9/26/02) The Louisville football program's first "signature win" had come more than a decade earlier via a thrashing of Alabama in the Fiesta Bowl, but this was the monumental victory that set the tone for U of L's rise to prominence over the next few years.

That's a Fiesta Bowl possibility and one that could slow talk of a BCS monopoly. We've heard some crazy projected Bowl Championship Series matchups, and some could even happen.
With this being America, many sports fans are attached to the underdog. In college football, the underdogs are the non-BCS programs such as Boise State, TCU, Utah and so on.
