1. They don't have any quality wins and most of their victories have been close games.

If they want to get into the rankings then they will have to schedule some better non-conference games.

2. Winning at Boston College wasn't easy

The image above is the circadian rhythm, for west coast teams traveling east is tough--especially with the 12:30 ET kickoff. East coast NFL teams have a roughly .670 winning percentage hosting a team from the west coast. NFL west coast/mountain teams tend to do better on late-afternoons & prime time games.


They won it on a game winning 4th down TD throw.

Colorado is their rival so can't help them if their win doesn't look good, they have them scheduled for the near future. They have a home-and-home with Minnesota starting next year. They draw Alabama on the road in 2017 which is where their success started with their "only" 31-7 loss. Their head coach was the Tide offensive coordinator before taking this job.

The selection committee's bias is starting to worry me where they aren't even top 25 and Marshall barely in there, that win at Boston College is tougher then it looks but they just probably see 3 point win against a 6-5 team.
