I won't even dignify that post with a response

That is what losers do
 
all i can say is wow. i honestly thought utah had no chance, but damnnnnnnn

alabama's defense got torn a new one

but utah still can't be considered the best team in the country
 
So how do 20,000 Utah fans celebrate a win? Split a beer?

Great joke!!! (seriously, thought it was funny)

With that, I am out of this thread. My team won a BCS Bowl and went undefeated. Who else can say that? I'm off to drink a 12 pack in celebration...
 
is this more evidence for a playoff?

so many potential winners and we have to settle for our own what if scenarios... this is capitalism in action.
 
top 5?
1. florida
2. usc...gross
3. utah
4. texas
5. oklahoma

assuming florida and texas win

Here's hoping the Gators DON'T win...

But I think Utah has at least a shot at #2
But they could also be #4

is this more evidence for a playoff?

The reality of "no playoff" has nothing to do with a lack of evidence
It has everything to do with control, power and $$$$

right, that's why i also pointed out that this is capitalism in action. and with espn outbidding fox for the bcs, it's goin straight to basic cable in its current form. no playoff til maybe way after that

No big surprise in this bowl (Alabama vs. Utah). Alabama did not deserve their number 4 ranking ahead of USC, and if we're going off of talent, they shouldn't be in the top 10. They played one good team all year (who they lost to) and really scraped by on games that should have been blowouts (LSU and Kentucky).

Congratulations to SLC Flyfishing and the Utes, it was a good win to cap off a perfect season. Definitely good for a top 5 finish in my book. How about we kick Washington State out of the Pac-10 and bring in Utah?

As for USC, we will most likely finish 2nd or 3rd. I can only hope for an absolutely horrific game by both Florida and Oklahoma (I'm predicting Florida by 14 by the way) that either gives USC a share of a title (unlikely) but at least causes more discussion for some type of playoff system. Honestly, we (USC) were absolutely screwed this year. We lose one away game early in the season to a team that turned out to be good but were never allowed to climb back in the rankings (despite our monstrous defense). We did all we could after that loss and I hoped it would be enough. With that said, here's our last 8 years. Mull over that. Oh, and to all the people who think we're nothing special year after year: stay awake to see more than one of our games per year.

Finishing Rank
2002: Top 5
2003: NC
2004: NC
2005: Top 5
2006: Top 5
2007: Top 5
2008: Top 5
2009: Top 5

Pretty good for 8 years, eh?

Happy New Year.

By the way, I hate the Gators too.

And obey, we're only good because the media loves us. Honest. :rolleyes:
 
Sadly I am going to be rooting for OK in the NC and for Tulsa in their bowl game. Both those teams win I get 125 bucks. If Tulsa wins and OU loses wins I get 75 bucks. If just OU wins I MIGHT get 40 bucks.

Other wise I am out 10 bucks.

All in good fun for a little we are having at the office. It a lot of fun trying to pick the winners of the Bowl games. I mostly just pick the names at random.
 
Then join the Pac 10
But I don't think you beat USC anyway

+1

No one can beat USC at this time, they can only beat themselves. I lived in Happy Valley the past two years and hated it, so it was so sweet watching them crush PSU. They should really consider getting a real coach instead of just keeping a figurehead. Oh, and get some players that can run fast, that might help. :)
 
or just a new secondary....

our offense was fine and would have been better if royster didn't get hurt after 6rushes with a 5.7 average

Our offense was fine and would have been better if McKnight didn't get hurt after 6 rushes with a 7.5 yard per carry season average.
 
yeah but it's not like you guys lost your main running back. you had all 3 running backs with over 600 yards. losing royster made us lose our entire running game.

and you guys had a 1.7 average on the ground
 
Congrats to the Utes
(you don't deserve the NC, but it was a good game for you)

OK, I want to hear MacDawg's response to this, (and everyone else's too):

What sport (at any level of competition) besides college football, can a team go undefeated and not be champions?

The BCS blows a big one and the Utes are the legitimate 2008 season National Champs, there's not a valid argument that anyone can make against that!

SLC

GO UTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
