Congratulations Utah Utes for winning every game, defending your home turf and being the people's National Champions! Perfection deserves respect, and I am giving you yours.

Hail Utah!

Utah did really well to finish 2nd. Still, no one in their right mind thinks that they could beat The University of Florida Tebows.

If you would have said that a few weeks ago I would have agreed with you. However, if I am not mistaken, they beat Bama by more than Florida did. That was their only common opponent.

Second??? What??? Florida finished second, did you not see the Ole Miss game in Gainesville?? No one in their right mind thinks that Ole Miss could beat the Utes in Utah...

 

 

Perfection > 1 loss to a mediocre team on your home turf.

Ok, here we go. Florida lost by 1 point to a team that went on to beat former #1 Texas Tech in their bowl game. Utah's only claims to fame this year are beating BYU and TCU. They also beat a deflated Crimson Tide that had their hearts torn out by UF. UF beat the preseason #1 (Georgia), LSU (#4 at the time), Alabama and Oklahoma. They won the coach's poll, the AP poll, the BCS, and the National Football Writer's polls. Utah going undefeated in the MountainWest is like FAU going undefeated in the Sunbelt and claiming that they should be national champs. You can not like the Gators all you want, but don't make ridiculous comments just to stir up controversy.

They had a pretty soft schedule.. 56th "toughest" schedule according to Sagarin. I don't put any weight on wins vs crappy teams and they had a few of those but that was an impressive win over Alabama. If you play in one of the crap conferences you really have to beef up your non-conference schedule. I guess they had back luck Michigan stunk this year but then again maybe the typical Michigan team beats them.

this is why we need playoffs.

Truly great teams don't lose to 4 loss teams AT HOME. What happened to the Swamp being an intimating place to play??

 

That Mountain West conference had just as many top ten teams as the SEC did, btw and only 1 less top 25 team.

The MWC is the most underrated conference in college football, it by no means is a "crap conference". Three top tier teams in Utah, BYU and TCU who are in or around the top 25 every season. Air Force has made a bowl game for two straight years and Colorado State turned their program around by making and winning a bowl game this year. Add in New Mexico who had a down year but has a very good football program and the MWC is a very good conference. Don't call it a crap conference just because they aren't on ESPN or CBS every weekend.

lol @ MillerTime comparing the Mountain West to the Sun Belt :lol :lol :lol

Excellent article by Rick Reilly on this subject. Read it.

 

Some gifts people give are pointless: Styling mousse to Dick Vitale. An all-you-can-eat card to Kate Moss. The BCS Championship given to Oklahoma or Florida.

 

It means nothing because the BCS has no credibility. Florida? Oklahoma? Who cares? Utah is the national champion.

 

The End. Roll credits.

 

Argue with this, please. I beg you. Find me anybody else that went undefeated. Thirteen-and-zero. Beat four ranked teams. Went to the Deep South and seal-clubbed Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. The same Alabama that was ranked No. 1 for five weeks. The same Alabama that went undefeated in the regular season. The same Alabama that Florida beat in order to get INTO the BCS Championship game in the first place.

 

FIND ME ANYBODY ELSE THAT WENT UNDEFEATED. THIRTEEN-AND-ZERO. BEAT FOUR RANKED TEAMS. WENT TO THE DEEP SOUTH AND SEAL-CLUBBED ALABAMA IN THE SUGAR BOWL.

 

Yeah, that's how it is now in the shameful, money-grubbing world of college football. If you're Florida and you beat Alabama, you get a seat in the title game. If you're Utah, you get a seat on your sofa.

 

Hey, remind me: What do they give out for one of those BCS things anyway? It's been so long since I cared. Something from Sears? This is the sixth year in the past 10 that the title has been in dispute under this cash-grab, fan-dis, monopoly that the BCS has created. Which is why the title game just doesn't matter anymore. It's like being named Miss Ogallala. Or Best Amish Electrician.

 

Just take a look at the teams that think they're worthy of being called national champs:

 

USC? Great year. Wonderful. Let's all go to SkyBar and celebrate. But it lost to Oregon State, a team Utah beat.

 

Texas? You think beating Ohio State by a nubby three points gets you the title? The Big Ten was 1-6 in bowl games! That's like pinning David Spade!

 

Florida and Oklahoma? They lost. Utah never did.

 

So that's it. Utah is the national champion. The Utes should probably have two now, actually. They went undefeated in 2004, too, and their coach still thinks they were the best team in the land. Smart fella named Urban Meyer. Coaches Florida now.

 

By the way, we're calling our title the "national" championship because it actually includes the whole nation??all 119 Division I schools?unlike the BCS, which includes 66. Yeah, the BCS somehow eliminated the middleman?the NCAA. The conferences these schools play in take their dump trucks full of cash straight from the TV networks and fairness can go suck a lemon.

 

Nettie Tien

 

The Utes won't get the trophy they really deserve, so we gave them one of our own design.

 

Do me a favor. Call Ohio State president Gordon Gee and ask him why he won't support a playoff. He's one of the most powerful presidents in the NCAA. He could get it done. If he says anything other than, "We don't want to share the loot" then you know he's lying his bow tie off.

 

"This is not how we normally do things in America," says Utah president Michael Young. "In America, quality usually wins, not conspiracy. And there's a reason people usually enter into a conspiracy. It's money. You make money doing it. And those that are in on the conspiracy want to stay in and keep everybody else out."

 

Sure, BCS blowhards will hand you schlock about how the college football season is like a playoff, how it's an elimination tournament every week. Really? Well, how come Florida and Oklahoma weren't eliminated with their losses? Utah ran the table, beat everybody set in front of them, including Ala-damn-bama in no less than the Sugar Bowl, and gets the bagel.

 

Oh, by the way? It was Utah's eighth straight bowl win, the nation's longest streak. Among the losers during that run? Let's see USC, Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh, and now the legendary Houndstooth Hats.

 

"What else do we have to prove?" asks Utah's magical quarterback, Brian Johnson. Good question. He and the Utes essentially whipped Alabama at home. Handed Nick Saban a garlic necklace to wear the entire offseason. Stepped on his team's neck 21-0 in the first three possessions and never looked back. Let's see. Who was it that was losing to Alabama until nearly six minutes into the fourth quarter? Oh, yeah. Florida.

 

What, you want the Utes to win a spelling bee? Make a prize-winning souffle? Knock up Angelina Jolie? What?

 

It just slays me. It really does.

 

Call Myles Brand, president of the asleep-at-the-wheel NCAA, and ask him if he and his greedy presidents are going to stand in defiance of president-elect Barack Obama, who said again this week he wants a playoff and wants it yesterday.

 

Call Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner and BCS bully John Swofford and ask him what he's going to do if Obama starts asking the Justice Department to look into anti-trust violations against the BCS. The Utah attorney general has already launched an investigation into that very thing.

 

Ask him what he'll do if Obama asks the Department of Education to consider withholding federal funds from these schools that have entered into his secret club. You don't think playing in the title game means millions in general-fund donations for a school? That's as unfair as anything Title IX fought against.

 

Until all these people do the right thing, I'll be celebrating with the true national champions ? the undefeated, untied Utah Utes. (Our new slogan: Utahk about a team!)

 

Lemonades for everybody!

The MWC is the most underrated conference in college football, it by no means is a "crap conference". Three top tier teams in Utah, BYU and TCU who are in or around the top 25 every season. Air Force has made a bowl game for two straight years and Colorado State turned their program around by making and winning a bowl game this year. Add in New Mexico who had a down year but has a very good football program and the MWC is a very good conference. Don't call it a crap conference just because they aren't on ESPN or CBS every weekend.

So where would you rank them among all the conferences?

So where would you rank them among all the conferences?

 

1. Big 12 - Bowl games didn't do them well, but this is based on regular season

2. SEC - 3 or 4 great teams the rest are okay to bad

3. MWC 5-0 vs. the Pac-10 and bottomfeeder Wyoming beat Tennessee this year also.

4. Pac-10 - USC, and everybody else

5. ACC - way too much parity in this league

6. Big East - Down year, with a lot of teams just not playing great

7. Big11Ten - overrated for the last 4 years

8. WAC - Boise State, Fresno, Hawai'i then a bunch of eh's

9. C-USA - CUSA is too big a few good teams and a lot of bad teams

10. Sun Belt - finally overcame MAC, the more bowl games they get the better the players they will get, only 1 bowl game, now 2 doesnt help recruit kids

11. MAC - just horrible, Ball State 12-0 and then looked silly at the end.

Ok, here we go. Florida lost by 1 point to a team that went on to beat former #1 Texas Tech in their bowl game. Utah's only claims to fame this year are beating BYU and TCU.

You can not like the Gators all you want, but don't make ridiculous comments just to stir up controversy.

 

 

:lol

 

Ok, first of all, TTU was never #1 in the country, and they never deserved to be. They proved to be one of the most overrated teams in the nation by barely beating mid-level teams such as Nebraska, and then losing by 44 to Oklahoma.

 

Utah's "claims to fame" were not beating TCU and beating BYU, it was going undefeated (the only team to do so) in by far the best non-BCS conference, and a conference that is arguably better than many BCS conferences such as the Big East, Big Televen and the ACC. Then, they traveled a couple-thousand miles to defeat the team that was ranked #1 in every poll for the majority of the season. Alabama, by the way, didn't get their hearts torn out by Florida and they weren't "deflated" either. If you watched the game, you would have known that it was a great game for the most part until the very end.

 

Please, if you're going to use the nonsense "UF beat the pre-season #1 and #4 teams in the nation", then I guess I can say that FSU was a great team too, seeing as though they beat three pre-season top 15 teams, the pre-season #9 team (Clemson), the pre-season #12 team (Wisconsin), and the pre-season #15 team (VT). Pre-season rankings mean absolutely nothing, as they never do each and every year. Only four teams from the pre-season top ten ended up actually finishing in the top ten, with three of them not even finishing in the top 25.

 

I'm not even going to respond to the part where you compare the MWC to the Sun Belt. That one is just too ridiculous to even laugh.

 

The best team in the nation this past season wasn't Florida, and no, it wasn't Utah either, it was USC.

Florida's strength of schedule 19

Utah 70

 

Florida's Bowl opponents: 11....avg margin of victory....29.5, including their loss

Florida only played 3 teams that were not in a bowl this year.

Sorry, Texas Tech was #2. Slipped my mind. As for FSU, seriously, we're having a football conversation. Why are you bringing them up?

FIU and FAU would be close to .500 teams in the Mountain West. The would both get slaughtered in the Pac 10, ACC, Big East and Big Ten.

Just read it and it's and excellent piece, i never new Utah won 8 straight bowl games hell i didn't even know they were in a bowl game before this year
