BYU won.. End of story. What happens now is the real debate. Football is meant to be an exciting and entertaining sport to watch so why shouldn't a person be able to celebrate with or without their team. Granted that it is not taunting the other team, offensive, etc...

BYU won because BYU blocked the potential game-tying kick. UW lost because they failed to protect the potential game-tying kick and allowed BYU to block it. It's pretty straight forward, really, and not that controversial.

The penalty which put the ball 15 yards further from the goal posts is a non-issue. Maybe if it changed a 35 yard attempt to a 50 yard attempt, the discussion would be more justified. But it wasn't.

It was a 35-yard kick from straight-away. PAC-10 kickers are supposed to hit those in their sleep. Congrats, BYU. You EARNED a solid victory!

You beat the 6th or 7th rated pac 10 team by one point. That makes you a BCS team? Go wild.

This celebration in the end zone after a TD with 2 seconds to play cost Washington 15 yards and, perhaps, the game.
