While the gators beat the sooners Utah should be the national champions or at the very least be playing for it. It just proves once again how retarded the Bowl system and the BCS really are.
Agreed, Utah should have been there, but in my opinion Texas should have been there over OU. But it's the BCS... It's not supposed to make sense... It's supposed to give ESPN and radio talk shows something to discuss...
I agree that the BCS is crap. Utah did go undefeated and beat Alabama in their bowl game. They should be #2 for sure. The Coaches poll dissed them though, left them at #4. SEC has won it 3 years in a row now...hopefully the critics will see that we are a very strong conference. And I questioned the Big-12 defenses since the OU/UT game but I was told that the B12 offenses were just that high-powered...hmmm, not quite that high-powered. For the Highest scoring team in the nation to be shutdown to 14 points, its got to say something.
I hope that the Texas Senator and Utah Attorney General succeed in dismantling the sham that is the BCS National Champion. If they want to change the name to the BCS Champion fine but when an undefeated team isn't named National Champion after beating the team that spent more time ranked #1 in the country than anyone else, its complete BS. IMO Utah is National champion, Texas and Florida should be BCS champions.
I agree that it is a sham even though my team is the winner of the BCS title. But I think that wasting gubment money is not right either. Changes will happen when more seasons end like this, and the fans/players/coaches all get fed up. Rankings are great for discussions but no one can argue a playoff system and its outcome. Right now we have what we have and thats it.
See the problem with a playoff is that it will turn into college basketball. Do you know anyone that watches regualr season college basketball?
raises hand. Man, I watch college bball all the time, love the conference tournaments. Sure March Madness is the best and if I had to pick, I'd choose that. Anyways, that colleges = government bodies doesn't float. I'm not arguing that you're wrong, but them investigating it from an antitrust stance is a bunch of mularkey. It's not ever, ever going anywhere. They're looking for some headlines and some votes. Why don't they just worry about the mircrosofts if they're gonna talk about that crap.

I'm not saying it isn't just for show but what I am saying is that unlike the NFL situation(spygate) where no laws were broken and the NFL is a private company, this involves the government and government money.
I don't watch much basketball but if I do it is college. Usually just the playoffs, especially with UF doing well over the last few years. I can't say that it's the best sport in the country but I can agree that college sports in general are better than the pros. I can't stand NBA...to many punks and thugs..the NFL is getting to be the same way too.
