Hmm? BCS =/= Power 5. Non-Power 5 schools can still be BCS (Bowl Championship Series), though I'm guessing you mean FBS? The BCS had only one function -- post-season. FBS, Football Bowl Subdivision, refers to the 130 or so programs that are considered 'major' and can be in bowls. This is as opposed to FCS, Football Championship Subdivision, i.e. the teams that use a playoff to the exclusion of playing in bowls.
So South Florida is FBS, BCS-eligible, and non-Power 5. Exactly the same as Southern Miss

No, South Florida, a BIG EAST SCHOOL in 2007, was NOT FCS or anywhere close to it.
The Big East in 2007 was actually a decent football conference with 4 schools having at least 9 wins (West Virginia, Cincinnati, Connecticut, South Florida) and another with 8 wins (Rutgers with Ray Rice). Compare that to the PAC 10, who only had 4 teams finish the regular season above .500.
