I want to say thanks to this man for pointing out a blatant injustice. Coach Wittingham and his staff, as well as Brian Johnson and his teammates, worked incredibly hard and did not receive half of the recognition they deserve. They went undefeated. They dominated Alabama. BCS voters ADMITTED THAT THEY DID NOT WATCH MANY OF UTAH'S GAMES. The system is broken and prejudiced.
Exactly. We need a system that judges quality by performance, not committee opinion. In other words, a playoff system needs to be incorporated and the voting system disbanded. I can FEEL that a team is bad and vote against them, but a real system proves me wrong. You don't vote on performance!!! For crying out loud.
Everyone saying the Utes don't deserve number 1...they are the ONLY UNDEFEATED TEAM IN THE ENTIRE UNITE STATES OF AMERICA!No other team can say that!Only the Utes.And it's the 2nd time they've done it,too.Fiesta bowl was not impressive at all,the Utes would have beaten both those teams.Championships wasn't what I'd thought it would be either.I think the utes would've beaten them as well.I believe in the Utes.Nobody gave them a chance, and they are the best team in the country.Quit makin excuses.
I value your opinion and respect it but the fact is the University of Texas is still looking up at the Unversity of Utah! How's that neck feeling right about Now? Score Board my man....SCORE BOARD!
13-0 vs junior high fucking teams doesn't give you right to a national title game, NOR does it give you the right to be the narrow-minded race-card-holder that you obviously are!
Utah did beat the only undefeated team in the SEC, which is probably the best conference! Oh yea.. They crushed Alabama.. Florida did not. Those are the facts..
They need to be more like Texas! Who ALSO got screwed by the BCS! We beat OU on the FIELD in a neutral site, and beat them by 10! They play mizzou in big12 game (who Texas beat before the 3rd quarter)! And then OU goes and loses by 10 to UF! And here's MY honest opinion, Utah should be 3rd in rankings, and Texas should be 2nd! Numbers aren't SHIT if you're putting them up against other losers!
And yeah, the BCS IS flawed! BUT HOW THE HELL IS THE BCS SUPPOSED TO CONSIDER UTAH WHEN THEY DONT PLAY ANYBODY!? BYU? WHEN ARE THEY GOOD? ALABAMA? SAME QUESTON! Look, quit playing the damn race card just cause it's the only resource in your sad little arsenal! People like you keep racism alive! By bringing it up where it's not even a factor! fucking ASSHOLE! If Utah wants to be a BCS team, ad HAVE a shot, they need to win games and do it consistantly for more than one fuckin season!
Think abut WHY these teams aren't BCS teams. The REASON they're 2nd class schools is cause they haven't run the table EVER! You're tellin me that UTAH is comparable to FLORIDA, TEXAS, OKLAHOMA, USC, or even TEXAS A&M? Shit, dude, we could sent BAYLOR over there to run the fuckin table! The reason UTAH is in that 3rd rate conference with all those 3rd rate teams is because THAT CONFERENCE racks up 12 wins between 'em! MAYBE! UTAH's hardest game was against MICHIGAN! And THEY suck this year!
I was at the Texas Ohio State game and Utah would have beaten both those teams on that night. Texas had a hard time with a big and slow team for Ohio that has been blown out of every bowl in the last three or so years..
How would you say that a team like BYU is a second rate school when they have "run the table" before. They won the National Championship in '85 I believe it was, and still is considered 2nd class. BYU was 11-1 when they lost to Utah and Utah destroyed THEM. TCU I believe was 10-2 when Utah beat them. Alabama was 12-1 before Utah anhilated them. Don't give me this crap that Utah didn't play anybody good. They had a much tougher schedule than it looked. Utah needs more games on ESPN to be noticed.
So am I, especially since the character count gave me hell typing all that. To this day, as a life long Ute fan I am still sick of the BCS and the favoritism they have for other schools. Atleast in a playoff system we can say that they are not the best team if they lose, but in the current way of doing things in the BCS, they are without a doubt the best team in the country.
In all honesty, if you can try to parallel the civil rights movement and slavery to college football you clearly have no regard for the struggles of blacks who came before you.
Also, the Utes don't have "nothing".
They have an undefeated season. If the players, coaches and fans need the validation of the BCS to know they achieved a great feat than they don't need to be around the game.
The definition of DISCRIMINATION IS AS FOLLOWS (Showing a partiality or prejudice in treat; speci, policies directed against the welfare of minority groups! In this case the BCS against the Mid Major Football conference. Isn't dicrimination the same no matter who it's against? I love my Black people but lets stand for more then just black and white.
If the Utes don't need VALIDATION ON THEIR SEASON, why is the BCDS crowning a CHAMPION? Don't the Utah coaches and players deserve the same opportunity as the BCS Schools? BCDS! Take the word racist out and you still have DISCRIMINATION!
Utah Utes 2008 National Champions. Urban allready got his and they lost to Old Miss. Old Miss lost to Bama. And we all know what Utah did to Bama in the Sugar Bowl. Would it be leagal to make some T-shirts that said Utah Utes National Champs? BCS would probally sew.
As far as the BCS being racist, I completely agree. Only the USC's, the Florida's, the Ohio States, The Texas's, and Oklahoma Sooners will get a shot at winning the Biased Controlled System Championship. As a country though, I think we have gone a long way in terms of racism. We are accepting economic diversity, many whites even voted for Obama (over 40%) and I think racism is driven on both sides of the street.
My point excatly! My question was, what is the difference between the rascism of years pass and what's the BCS is now doing to Mid Major Universities? At one point and time blacks were treated as second class citizens!! Isn't the BCS doing the Same to the Mid Majors? Why is it acceptable now? Where are the Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons? Lets fight discriminations on all levels, not when we want to.
ohhh...ok my bad. Yeah, this is without question an arguement worth taking up for any African rights leader, hell any political leader. It's truly a shame that some teams/players won't ever have a chance to prove themselves (and players even giving themselves a higher chance at getting drafted).
Ask all those studs that are currently playing for USC!!!

First off, stop yelling.
Second, do you know what "racism" is?
In all honesty, if you can try to parallel the civil rights movement and slavery to college football you clearly have no regard for the struggles of blacks who came before you.
Also, the Utes don't have "nothing".
They have an undefeated season. If the players, coaches and fans need the validation of the BCS to know they achieved a great feat than they don't need to be around the game.
