Someone explain to me why Hawaii continually gets no love? I mean, they have zero losses while Ohio St has one and Ohio St's best win(Michigan) was ranked lower than Hawaii's best win(Boise St)....I just don't get it.

Hawai'i's games last year verse BCS opponents--they return the same squad this year

Alabama 25 v Hawai'i 17... Bama was 6-7 overall, 2-6 in SEC
Hawai'i 42 v Purdue 35... Purdue was 8-6 overall, 5-3 in the Big11Ten (didn't play tOSU or Michigan)
Oregon St 35 @ Hawai'i 32... ORegon St was 10-4 overall, 6-3 in Pac10


seems like Hawai'i is a mid-level BCS team



the reason they haven't played any *real* schools is their own fault as well
Michigan St backed out due to the absolutely horrid and documented mistreatment Hawai'i brings on opponents who come to the islands

Fwiw, I'm pretty sure that it was Michigan who backed out and not MSU.

I think State had an actually scheduled, agreed-to game with Hawaii that Sparty backed out of.

FWIW, as I remember it, in the offseason after 2005, when Hawaii's AD was looking to fill a spot on the schedule left vacated by State, they called Michigan. Martin refused the game, because I think Hawaii offered a 2-1 series (2 games in Ann Arbor, 1 in Hawaii).

So yeah, I don't think we ever agreed to play them. Instead of scheduling Hawaii, Michigan instead struck a deal with App State, who didn't ask us to go there. WTG Bill Martin!
