1. Anyone wanna try and tell me again why Florida should be playing for the title?
Squeaks by Tide at home, Utah blows out Tide on a neutral site (closer to Bama, though). Oh, and then there's USC. This whole mess is such a joke.

2. Yea, I know......Hopefully at some point, they'll fix this ridiculous
BCS system with something fair.

I will admit, at least, that most of the teams I've been pulling for have won, including USC, California and Utah.

How 'bout the West?! :wow:

I can't imagine anyone thinking it works after this year.

4. You've got a few things wrong here..
First, the SEC Championship was played in Atlanta...unless I've missed something, that's not UF's "home" field. Secondly, they didn't just squeak by, they dominated the 4th quarter en route to an 11 point victory.

Let me also add, UF played an Alabama team that included Outland Trophy winner Andre Smith...Utah caught a big break when he was suspended as the Tide's entire O line had to be rearranged...and it showed.

6. How many losses would Utah have
had they played in the SEC, Pac 10,or Big 12? One thing is for certain, you know they wouldn't be undefeated. Winning one bowl game, after playing a weak MWC schedule, does not suddenly make one worthy of the national championship.

7. You are correct, it does not make them worhty of a national title. But it sure is funny as hell to
watch the SEC team that was ranked 1st in the nation for about 10 weeks SUCK THE PIPE to a MWC school.

8. Easy
Utah didn't have to play teams like Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU, Tennessee, FSU, etc., etc. week after week after week. They play a couple of tough teams and the rest are mostly cupcakes. They're not lining up against conference teams loaded with future NFL players almost every week. It's very difficult to make it through conferences like the SEC or Big 12 undefeated and also healthy for a January bowl game. Give Florida Utah's schedule, and they're 12-0 averaging about 60 points a game.

10. We get so tired of pounding them every season, I'm happy
they're able to experience the joy of knowing what it's like to win.
