I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe that BYU is the cause for so much tribulation in the college football world. I don't like BYU at all, but they didn't do this. They won their title in '84. The BCS wasn't formed until the late 90's. The BCS was originally formed to have a clear-cut national champion. In fact, that was after Michigan and Nebraska were co-champs in the late 90's. Sorry, but BYU didn't cause this. As much as so many people would love to believe it.

Bring on Urban Meyer! Although that would be a difficult win to achieve, what better match up between his old team and current Gator team? Utah has everything to gain and nothing to lose in such a matchup. Utah by 5! :)

TO: IRON COLD STEVE

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT UTAH WOULD LAST 5 MINUTES WITH A BIG 12 TEAM OR AN SEC TEAM? HAVING SAID THAT--ROLL TIDE!

BY THE WAY--I HEARD THAT AN OKLAHOMA/BYU MATCHUP MIGHT BE IN THE WORKS IN THE FUTURE.

The Utes & Florida in the Sugar bowl is too good a storyline to pass up. Bama will win the SEC.

Props to Mack Brown for handling get hosed w/ class unlike Tech coach Mike Leach.

The BCS games IMO will be: Title OU v Bama, Sugar, Fla v Utah, Orange ACC Champ (who cares who) v Cincinnati, Rose USC v Penn St, Fiesta Texas v Ohio St.

Georigia Tech would be the 1 ACC team I wouldn't want top play... hopefully thats who byu gets.

Boise wants to play Ball St in Boise. Ball St said no. Would Boise want to Play TCU in Ft Worth? TCU would obliterate Boise anywhere.

BYU and Ute fans, I have some news for you. IT IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU. The article actually talked about other teams who are looking at national championship possibilities. This year has produces some of the best teams that I remember. The BCS is screwed up because it will not be decided on the field. Instead opinion polls will determine the two contenders. This is one year where a national playoff would be fantastic.

You Utah fans (like Running Ute) that say the BCS works don't get it. You're missing the bigger picture. How has the BCS system has worked for Utah? Sure, you've got a shot at A BCS game. That's great, but you've got absolutely no shot at the title. Why not?! What could have you done better? Utah won't go 12-0 next year. You've missed your shot at the title. The BCS cut you off. You really don't have any way to prove your true worth or to ever procure a championship.

Your football team just got doubled up by Utah less than ten days ago. So if you want to rag on how Utah will get thrashed in the BCS...what does that say about BYU?

A BYU fan freely admitting McMahon was one of them. Wow. Other than J-Mac & S. Young who had BYU had done well in the pros? Tyler Anderson - The 90's version of Austin Collie?

For the U there has been; Steve Smith & Jordan Gross. Lets not forget The Dyson brothers, Luther Ellis, Scott Mitchell, & Jamaal Anderson, etc...

BCS = Boy, cougs (are) sad!
BCS Right & Wrong | 3:04 p.m. Dec. 1, 2008
The BCS actually is going to have a fantastic National Championship game. Florida vs. Oklahoma, Assuming all the talking heads are right. I think Alabama and Missouri will be good test for both of them. I watched the Oklahoma Texas game and it was an upset, I do think Oklahoma is the better team. I really think Utah will get blown out if they play a top tier team, however, I agree they should be there. Now if Ohio State goes instead of Boise State, which appears likely. I think they are making a huge mistake. Sure Ohio State is probably better, but who wants to see a 2 loss Ohio State team, when they could see an undefeated Boise State team. Part of the mystic of this whole BCS buster thing is: 1st seeing if a team can get there by going undefeated. Utah & Boise State remained perfect as did Ball State. Utah and Boise State beat some quality Pac 10 teams, Ball State did not.Give them a shot, sure they may get blasted, but that is good for football. Ohio State vs. Texas. Who cares? Alabama vs. Utah. Texas vs. Boise State. Now I am interested.

Seems like the BCS title game is being played in the SEC conference title game. Why even have the BCS Championship game?

Still trash talk coming from BYU fans. Still talk about the Utes playing in their "kiddy pool" and being scared of a playoff season, and barely beating Oregon State. Are you kidding me? We went undefeated! We're going to a BCS bowl AGAIN! And still the zoobies can't shut up! This from the team that humiliated themselves with the "Quest for Perfection" garbage. Must have been fun to watch your arch rivals be the ones to pull off the quest.
I'm almost shocked by the idiocy. Then I realize we're talking about BYU fans here...
