Yes you did...competing in the Big East, which is weakest football conference. You've "done more" against the likes of Rutgers, UConn, etc. How would you have fared in the ACC, SEC, Big 10?
VT, Miami and BC were actually in the Big East until 2003, their average records and level of play really haven't changed since they left. I would say most years VT is the class of the ACC, their best years as a program though? Big East early 2000's, and when they played us it was always tight. I really can't take the concept that we wouldn't be a top tier ACC team. We haven't lost to UMD in 7 years, we've beaten both UNC and GT in bowl games with in the last 5 years, we do have a loss to FSU but that's probably the only other team aside from VT that I feel like we'd struggle with in the ACC.
The Big East is really only recently a garbage conference, even as recently as 2008 it was pretty underrated.

You've got a decent football team - but getting "up" for a game or two a year isn't the same as facing stiffer competition every week. This is the same criticism Boise State suffers from...they have not been tested with constant, week after week, top scheduling. Get a taste of Alabama, Ark, Fla, Auburn, etc. every year and come out with one loss.
