Hawaii was scheduled to play Michigan State this season, but the Spartans paid $250,000 to cancel the game. Jones tried to replace the Spartans with Southern California, but even the Trojans wanted no part of quarterback Colt Brennan and the Warriors’ high-octane offense.

“We offered to play everybody,” Jones said. “No one wanted to play us.”

You can't blame Hawaii that the teams in their division sucked and no decent team wanted to play them. No one gave Boise State a shot to beat Oklahoma in the last Fiesta Bowl, but they did.

Hawaii took care of business and now is entittled to play for the Championship.
Hawaii will never compete in the bcs championship game until a playoff is instituted... An undefeated record does not guarantee a trip to the national championship... Strength of schedule and the coaches polls are just as much determining factors as is the overall record...

The national championship will most likely be between LSU and OSU or Oklahoma...
