SouthernJet Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Oklahoma and Florida can battle for the BCS. But we've already crowned the true national champ. by Rick Reilly Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images The Utes trampled Alabama to complete a perfect season. How are they not national champions? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Bit Special Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 F#ck the +1. Get a real playoff. Bowl games have been going on for 4 weeks. Plenty of time for a 16 team playoff. Stop watching college football (except your team) until they get it right. These bastards wont learn until you take their cash cow away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicBizkit87 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 don't be shocked if AP poll goes to utah it will sent shockwaves and maybe generate a plus 1 game I won't be shocked, but all that matters is who is the BCS National Champion. No one can give two ****s over who the AP25 National Champion is. Does anyone seriously think this team would go undefeated in a big time conference?

CrazyCarl40 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 JCB - Utah is really good. Would they go undefeated? Who knows. But they should at least be not written off before the season even starts. Not everyone can be in a BCS conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetLee83 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 LOL. go undefeated in the SEC, or Big 12, then maybe i'll consider you national champs. Yeah seriously. Don't forget those big wins at home over Utah State and Weber State! Mountain West and 3-9 Michigan, nothing impressive about their regular season.

Thai Jet Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah seriously. Don't forget those big wins at home over Utah State and Weber State! Mountain West and 3-9 Michigan, nothing impressive about their regular season. I'd love to see just one more big game with Utah vs. Florida. I think that might shut up the Utah bandwagoners for quite awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to be going to the University of Florida very soon, so that pretty much says I am a Florida Gator, just not on the team. By the way, Utah would be out of the game by the end of the third, if not sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida had their chance to win it all wihtout a doubt... they blew it... If Utah played an Alabama team that was motivated for the game they would have had no chance. Bottom line, Bama is still the better team. Florida, USC, Oklahoma, and Texas would have destroyed Utah. Utah fans can complain all they want, bottom line is that the Gators are the owners of the crystal football, and Utah isn't. If Utah wants to become a legit team, how about getting into a legit conference, and we'll watch that team go 7-6 instead of 13-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
