You are probably right there. They could be a factor for a long time if the Big East sustains there automatic BCS invitation.(Which they should lose but won't) The thing about WV is if they were in the SEC or ACC they are a 3 loss team easily.

 

I don't know if they are necessarily a three loss team easily in the SEC or ACC but we wouldn't be talking about them as a national title contender if they didn't play in the Big East. I'll give you that the could lose 3+ games in another conference but if you get the right schedule (re: 2005 Alabama) and play the right teams at home, your record will look better than your team is. The opposite also applies.

 

I think the automatic BCS invitation is more likely to get revoked for a conference that always beats up on each other. I'm not sure the exact ranking but it's something like if your conference doesn't have a team ranked above a certain spot in the BCS (12 maybe?) a couple years in a row, you could lose your invitation. For the Big East, which is likely to have a team run the table or finish with 1 loss, they aren't likely to not have a team ranked that high. With the ACC, which has shown in previous years to all beat each other, this becomes more likely.
