2008/9 COLLEGE Football Thread

Beating Alabama in no way means Utah automatically deserves a shot at the Title.

I hate it when non-BCS people do this (including a lot of Boise fans in '07).

Just because we have a great showing in a BCS bowl doesn't mean we deserve a shot at the Title.


WOW! Great coverage downfield by Utah!!! Beautiful!

so in other words, a non-bcs school has no shot at all to be considered for a title even if they might end up dominating a legit team that was ranked #1 over most of the year

tell me, is there ever a scenario for a non bcs school to be considered as the champion?

i'm sorry, but that was pass interference. Utah got the call on a similar play

I disagree. Of course if Utah got a similar call earlier (I just barely tuned in) then they need to be consistent. But I still don't think that was PI. I think it was just great coverage.

'Bama gets another FG. If they can keep holding Utah to 3-n-outs then they might just catch up by the end of the game. ;)

Probably not ;)

At the end of the day... Utah is a non-BCS MWC team :p
Sucks doesn't it

Woof, Woof - Dawg

Did you see the punt return or were you too busy counting your chickens before they hatched??

If you read all my posts, I said it would be a good game
I never said they would destroy them unless I was trash talking

This game is FAR from over my friend

I know it is but obviously Utah is not going to get destroyed. I am glad they finally did something. When they move the ball on offense, I'll be worried.

Honestly I think you should be more worried about Utah not moving the ball on offense anymore.

Maybe I shouldn't have turned on the game.. heh.. I've jinxed them!

Nope. There just isn't. Not unless the particular conference has a great year (like MWC did this year) and they play top 25 teams in OOC play.


EDIT: Okay, I'm seriously turning off the game. Hopefully that will help get Utah back in the game. ;)

Go Utes!!

exactly. there was a call against BAMA that was not PI. they should be consistent with the calls, and they are not
 
Coach Jimmy Johnson just said to give the MWC a BCS bid and to split the title. I love that too!

I am disappointed in the special teams lapse, and I'm looking for a Utah TD on their first 2nd half possession.

If by "Utah keeps this up" you mean for the next three or four seasons, then yes, I think you'd be right. Until then, there just aren't enough voters that are going to give them enough credit to be a National Championship contender.

I hate the bowls being on Fox
NFL commentators should NOT be doing the analysis for college games

I don't know - Jimmy Johnson (IMHO) made a much bigger name for himself coaching in college than in the NFL, and Switzer is a college coaching legend. I'd say they're more than qualified to do college football analysis.

What I think is ironic is that Johnson was a big rival of Switzer's when they were at OSU/Miami and OU, respectively. Made even more interesting when Switzer succeeded Johnson in Dallas.
