What makes you think they've ducked teams? It's the other way around and it has always been very difficult for good mid-major programs to schedule. Nobody wants to play them.
The win at Saint Louis is a great win. Would look great on anyone's resume. Tennessee and Alabama both underachieved this year. Those looked like good games before the season. If BYU hadn't beat Texas in the CBE they would've beaten Texas...but then again, BYU is a better team in the BPI than Texas and WSU owns a win over them.
They are 6th in the RPI and 4th in the BPI. They can't be as bad as you think they are.
