AP Top 25 Poll
10 comments | Read story
The fact that unlike FL, OU, USC, etc. we were not even ranked in the pre-season yet made it to #2 and are the ONLY undefeated team in the nation.
The BCS system stinks when beating #6 Bama #7 TCU #18 OSU and #25 BYU and 13-0 wasn't good enough to even share the tile with a team that lost at home to then an UN-RANKED team.
How FL is #1 when losing to an non ranked team at home is just mind boggling.
The FL team I saw today could be beat, maybe its time these BCS top teams schedule Home-and-Home series against Utah, TCU, Bosie and BYU. Then and only then will they be National Champs right now they are only BCS Champs.
and utes win it all
SEC, #1 and #6 - BCS conference
MWC, #2 and #7
Pac 10, #3 and # 10 - BCS conference
Big 12, #4 and #5 - BCS conference
Big 10, #8 and #9 - BCS conference
Then for interest sake the highest ranking team from other conferences,
WAC, #11
ACC, #15 - BCS conference (3 total teams)
Big East #17 - BCS conference (2 teams total)
The MWC had 3 total teams!
I do not think that there is anyway to argue that the Big 12 and SEC are the top 2 conferences, but beyond that I have a difficult time seeing why some conferences get automatic bids and some do not.
Why couldn't Utah beat USC? Who did USC beat that was so good? A depleted #8 Penn State (on USC's home field)? UCLA? Washington State? UW?
Heck, USC only beat Arizona 17-10. And lost to Oregon State.
Utah beat Oregon State. They also beat then #4 Alabama, final #7 TCU, and #25 BYU. And everyone else.
My guess is at a neutral site, Utah would beat USC by 10.
