Thank you for a great season. I love every minute of it.
UTAH UTES 2009 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!
GO UTES!!
p.s. UTAH UTES 2010 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!
It's been a long week trying to wrap my head around this convoluted system...but at the end of the day I am so proud to be a Utah Man.
I hope Coach Mcbride gets recognized at the victory parade. This program rose from the ashes under his care.
GO UTES!!!
Guess all that begging and whining paid off. I'd put Utah at No. 3 though. But no way they beat USC.
==============================
Look who's whining!!! You are right no way do we beat USC... that's because the SEASON IS OVER!!
#2 is just the first loser BUT it beats being the #3 or #25 loser any day!!!
Congrats to my Utes! Can't wait till next year!!
So go away!! The season is over, you can post next year when BYU actually does something.
IF I WERE PLAYING IN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND HAD 1 LOSS, AND THERE WAS ANOTHER TEAM THAT WENT UNDEFEATED, I WOULD NT FEEL THAT I DESERVED TO NO.1, I WOULD WANT TO PROVE TO THE NATION THAT MY TEAM CAN BEAT AN UNDEFEATED TEAM, BUT NONE OF THESE TEAMS HAVE THE GUTS TO ACKNOWLEGE THAT, I GUESS THE TEAMS THAT CLAIM NO.1 ARE ALL UNDEFEATED. ON THE FIELD THE NATION KNOWS REGARDLESS OF AP OR BCS, UTAH IS THE BETTER TEAM, WHAT I WATCH LAST NIGHT BOTH TEAMS OVER RATED. I WAS NOT IMPRESSED, SAN DIEGO COULD BEAT THESE TEAMS EASILY.
My kids asked me why a winning team that hasnt lost is No.2. An innocent question deserves a clear answer, something not even the BCS or the AP can answer clearly. 13-0 vs 13-1, another thing that isnt clear is National Title Game. Is it the NCAA title or the bcs title? Why have a championship game when half the NCAA football teams are excluded from a shot even when they are undefeated. If Utah lost 1 game at #6 utah would drop down to #17 or #19
#4 Alabama dropped 2 spots to # 6, its not only confusing to the young minds, but it is also one sided. UTAH is NO.1 END OF STORY, AP didnt get it right either everyones has been confused for so long that right has become wrong and wrong has become right, go figure.
Well done MWC - two top 10 teams and my beloved Cougars in at #25. Particular kudos to the Utes.
The best Utah team ever and I'll take #2 and undefeated anyday.
They did it all!
AP voters are sheep to the BCS... Utes are real #1!
1. Florida
2. USC
3. Texas
4. Oklahoma
5. Utah
And as a BYU fan I say that BYU should be about #25.
Good season Utes. But UTES don't deserve anything higher than #5. Honestly, you couldn't have beaten any of the elite teams this year: Oklahoma, Texas, USC, and Florida would have pounded you.
Congrats to the MWC also, especially BYU and TCU. I hope BYU can beat Oklahoma this fall.
Let's continue the work in the MWC. Here's to hoping for more big upsets next year over those BcS teams.
BYU should be ranked no higher than 50 to 60th.
What were you watching?
And next year, when the Bougars lose about 6 maybe 7 games, what will be your chant? "They had too difficult a schedule!"
Drink some milk.
To YbU fan, you are jealous that our #2 ranking is much more impressive than your 84 #1 ranking. Crawl back to Zoobee land and drink some more kool aid.
A challange to you BCS pouge schools, add Utah to your scedules next year, if you dare. Utah can and will beat most if not all of you.
YbU fan, we are bored with you, but we dominate you in every way next year.
if you disagree with someone else's opinion, it's always best to resort to name calling and baseless predictions that have absolutely nothing to do with the opinion you're trying to rebut.
That'll show 'em!
You can't have it both ways. Which is it? Did you beat a good BYU or did you just beat another patsy? No question you were better than BYU this year, but 50 or 60th? Now you've gone back to your fantasy world, the one where you think you could actually beat USC, the real best team in the country.
I guess you could print T-shirts that say "We're #4, We're #4" if that will make you feel better. Or, "We vote ourselves #1".
Oh, and if you'd like to see what a national championship trophy actually looks like I'm sure you could catch a glimpse of one if you drive down to Provo, where the state of Utah's only one resides.
Thanks to the gracious cougar fans.
To the bitter cougar fans...it must be killing you that in the year of your idiotic self proclaimed Quest, only Utah could finish what you so arrogantly started.
Congrats again to Utah! What a season!
1. That Utah was much better than BYU this year and several past years, and deserved to finish the season very highly ranked, if not no. 1.
2. That BYU got a boatload of money because Utah made it to a BCS bowl game, and therefore should be thanking them, not dissing them.
3. That the MWC as a whole had an outstanding season, and that we need each other's success in order to continue making the argument that the BCS is an unfair system.
