BYU has been the best under the radar team the last few years. This year is their Boise State/Utah year. I still can't believe Wisconsin once was 12-1 and didn't even make the BCS, they have to get past Ohio State. Clemson=perennial underachievers, and being a fan of the Bowdens, it pains me to admit it. South Florida has built a powerhouse from scratch in record time, if they can make it to at least a debate about challenging the Gators for best team in Florida, then they are here (Of course, getting the wood put to them by a 5th string scout team QB in the Sun Bowl didn't help). Missouri is a complete team, they just don't appear to be as physically tough as Oklahoma; and that is what keeps them out of the BCS.
My up and comers:
Arizona State: Dennis Erickson touches gold wherever he goes at the college level, and he knows how to recruit speed and aggression.
Texas Tech: If a defense arrives anything remotely close to what is being hyped this season, the Big XII New World Order will arive.
North Carolina: Long shot at best, but Butch Davis ain't no slouch
Notre Dame: Their recruiting isn't strictly artificially solid on paper, they get great athletes. And there is only one direction this program can go after last year.
Baylor: Laugh all you want, I strangely sense a solid program rising in Waco
