sure... but i watched them this year turn into a team with a ton more speed and better line play than i've seen from them in years. if their #4 player had stayed healthy, they might have been in the picture this year. didn't they lose the game after he went down? he was their speed guy and, from what i saw, about 50% of their offense.
if they wise up and get a big, meaty, fast RB and keep good QBs i could see them getting in the mix... particularly with the type schedule they play. all they need is for the bigger conferences to have a slightly down year (like this year), go undefeated against weaker opponents (like what notre dame is doing this year) and step in.
