this may be stupid of me to ask, but what is the difference between a non bcs team and a bcs team. they are always talking about being an upset with them getting in a bcs game and i rightfully dont know why. is it the size of school or does one have to win so many games. please explain.

It actually has to do with the conference with which the team is associated.  For example, the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Big 10 +1, Pac 2 (12) are all BCS conferences and teams within those conferences are considered BCS teams.  If there is a team outside of those conferences, they have to make the top 10 or 12 (I believe) to be eligible to get into a BCS bowl (Sugar, Rose, Fiesta or Orange).  As you know, in order to get into the top 10 they pretty much, no they DO have to go undefeated.  I hope this clears things up.  Notre Dame is an independent but I believe they are also a BCS team.  Hope that helps.

Here's a  pretty good explanation... basically the biggest 6 conferences and Notre Dame (based on their record) have automatic bids for their champions... Mid-majors next...
