I agree that "mid-major" is a term that doesn't apply. Of course we've been largely irrelevant over the past 15 years - we've sucked and most CFB teams aren't getting play in Buffalo or San Diego unless they ranked - and let's be honest - even then probably sports fans in those particular cities won't care about CFB (pro markets). The issue of relevancy is a pretty amorphous benchmark to use any ways. I think Syracuse football is more relevant than Colgate football to people from Buffalo, no?

BUT - if you want to use it and apply it to a national relevancy- I don't think you can really apply it to the last two seasons. Dino and Syracuse were all over everywhere after the VaTech win. And even more so after upsetting #2, defending champs Clemson. We didn't capitalize on those by making a bowl which would have acted like a megaphone for Dino for a couple of more weeks.

I'm not saying we've been good over the past 15 years. I don't think anyone is. I am saying that there are signs of life and relevancy nationally that you can't discount.
