By the way, insinuating that anyone blames Notre Dame for being ranked #1 is absurd.

I've followed the BYU program for years and think they should get a little more credit. They had a superb offensive scheme that churned out quarterbacks like Jim McMahon and Steve Young. Using this early passing oriented system, they defeated some very good teams in the 1980s. Would they have beat teams like Oklahoma? Who knows what would happen in a one-game scenario. But they were far from scrubs. The 1990 Miami Hurricanes got it handed to them by BYU.
