For College Football Fans

Post by GreenDude »

I found this article on Yahoo and couldn't believe it at first
To give the background, Utah a team in a non-automatic BCS bid conference was the only team to go 13-0. However, they did not get an invite to the National Championship. In there bowl game, they whipped No.4 Alabama 37-17. Now apparently, they got to the Utah Attorney General who is now investigating that the BCS may violate antitrust laws 8O . Good luck and I hope that you make a playoff system Mr.Shurtleff.

Please. It'll go nowhere.

Gotta say, though, Utah's conference, the Mountain West Conference, is the best non-BC$ conference in college football. Utah, BYU, TCU, Nevada....all good teams.

I figured it was just because they figured utah played teams that apparently weren't decent. That was kind of the case with USC not getting a chance at the National Championship too.

Yeah, I was going to say USC deserves a shot at the title.
I am a Golden Bears fan (Cal) so I resent East Coast Media for saying the PAC-10 is weak. It went 5-0 in the bowl games which is no small feat.

BTW: Nighthawk22, you're for those Golden Gophers. I like the name ;) Golden Gophers :: Golden Bears
We both all Gold :D

yeah MN had a huge improvement this year, they were 1-11 last year and this year started 7-1 ranked 17. Then they lost to Northwestern and it all went downhill to lose all our rivalry games and finish the season with a like 54-0 loss to Iowa. (Im from Iowa and i get a lot of crap from my friends).

The BCS is stupid, even if Florida is the best team in the country. They should have to prove it.

Most people believed that the Patriots were guaranteed to beat the Giants last year in the Superbowl, yet the Patriots lost and the Giants got to carry the mantle of "best team in the nation" last year. What if we had said, "Oh, the Patriots have a better record and better stats, they'd surely win against the Giants, there's no point in playing the Superbowl, they already beat the second best team to get here (the Colts)." Then we'd have never seen the Patriots play like fools and lose to the Giants (sense my bitterness?).

Is it fair to do the same thing with Florida vs Utah (not to mention USC / Texas etc)?
