re: Who becomes the new darling non-AQ?

Since 2004, Boise State has had four perfect regular seasons and they're working on their fifth. I just don't see another school having that type of sustained success in the non-AQ conferences. There's no logical reason Boise State should have been able to do it. They have no storied history or tradition, they have an endowment of only $62 million, their football budget is ranked only 89th in the nation and they are located in the most barren recruiting grounds in the country.
