BYU football preview
Thanks to congressional hearings and the threat of lawsuits, the BCS was tweaked in order to be more accommodating to non-BCS schools. Ironically, the team that first benefited from the national-respect trailblazing was BYU's archrival, Utah, which crashed the BCS party in 2004. (Boise State and Hawaii have accomplished the feat since then.)
Every 12 years, something monumental happens to the Cougar football program. In 1972, the school hired LaVell Edwards. In 1984, it won the national title. In 1996, BYU played in its first, and only, New Year's Day bowl game. Now, in 2008, after back-to-back 11-2 seasons, is it time for the Cougars to achieve their Quest for Perfection and land in a BCS bowl?
