How is it possible to compare A QB from the MAC to QBs from the BCS

Personally I have always found it interesting when many sports writers try to compare a Non-BCS quarterback to one of a major conference. I am talking about Dan LeFevour from Central Michigan, no disrespect to him but I have always found it weird when everyone starts to compare him to the likes of a Chase Daniel or a Graham Harrell, the talent level that these two play against is at the top compared to what LeFevour sees every week. Week in week out, these two Heisman candidates face top of the line talent from all around the nation, while LeFevour gets his hands usually on some second hand prospects. There's no way that you can do that, if any BCS QB would play in a system like that, there is no telling what they would be able to do. It has gotten to the point where Central Michigan's Athletic Director(Jason Holtman) has decided to put up a giant billboard of LeFevour in hopes of him winning the Heisman Trophy. Wouldn't you know that this same A.D. was the same one who decided to get behind Joey Harrington way back when at Oregon in hopes of winning him the Heisman.

To add as a starting QB at Central Michigan, Dan LeFevour has not beaten a single BCS team coming in to the 2008 season, now how can you compare, that just shows you that you can't. I can remember a year ago when everyone said that Colt Brennan should win the Heisman based on his team's record, I can see that but the only team they played from a power conference was Washington and if I'm not mistaken, they were near the bottom of the PAC-10 last year. When it was Hawaii's turn to play with the big boys in the Sugar Bowl, they just got manhandled by one of the best teams in the nation. Just goes to show you that you CAN'T compare BCS QBs to those of any non BCS school, and wouldn't you know it Central Michigan happens to bump heads with National Champion contender, the Georgia Bulldogs this coming season. Good Luck Dan!
