The "Gateway 4" came about when the I-AA playoff committee ignored their own standards and let WKU in the playoffs, stiffing a good Lehigh team. This despite WKU not playing all Division I competition and only having 1 good win on their schedule. They were, however, the defending I-AA champions, which gave them a trump card over 8-3 Lehigh, who played a better schedule.
