Give me a break. We've got one screwed up system in this game we love so much. For Utah for not to get to play for the title is a scam.

lost their best player in off lineman andre smith, hard to get hyped up to play Utah for no share of national championship, and apparently utah is decent. im no bama fan but i think they could beat anyone still

No. If they played USC 10 times, they would get pounded 10 times almost assuredly.

The public would get absolutely skull drug by the bookies if College Football had a playoff system and there were games next week. Look at the way people overreact to one game.

Good post ,usc looks better every day

This is whats wrong with College Football.. People cant get past the big named schools... You dont know that UTAH would lose 10 times... that is an IDIOTIC statement...

IMO TCU is a better team than Utah after watching them play.. and either of the top 3 Non BCS teams (UTAH, TCU, BSU) could give ANYONE a run for their money...

Oh my god. Are you serious?? The talent differential between USC and Utah is immense.

I can get past big name schools. I had Utah +9.5 tonight over the big name school in Bama, go check my thread. I can also evaluate talent, and USC has an embarrassment of riches compared to Utah. It is what it is. USC would make Utah look like a high school team.

Like they made Oregon State look like a high school team? USC plays well at home ill give them that... but put them in a neutral location or on the Road against the Utes or even TCU and well..

TCU would give the Trojans a much better game than Utah would. At least TCU would stand a chance to slow SC down. TCU's offense would get smothered though.

Im a trojan fan too, and this just shows that we REALLY REALLY need a playoff system.. This is such a bunch of crap... The BCS says "we have a playoff system.. its called the regular season." What a bunch of CRAP...

Theres a reason why USC didnt play Texas... The BCS CONSPIRED to keep them from playing eachother... IF USC Waxed Texas or Vice Versa.. Either would have a HUGE CLAIM to the NC.. and their would be major public outcry for a playoff system.. so they stick Tex against OSU and SC against Penn St...

If Tex waxed USC and OK beat FL then they could say WTF??? we are the champs...

If USC waxed TEX and FL beat OK then they could say WTF?? We are the champs...

Utah sb NC too.. IMO

so why dont we just have 4 National champions.. Fuckin BCS..

That is a bunch of crap. The regular season is not a fair playoff system because the strength of schedules vary so wildly.

you are partially correct... http://www.tellshowbcs.com/SOSP.html

texas had the strongest schedule in the nation and they beat oklahoma on a neutral field by 10...

what you are wrong about is usc... if they were as good as you say they are they win two days ago 65-10 but they have inept play calling and unfocused and undisciplined players to say the least.

alabama is not a bad team, utah is an awesome team who could beat anyone if the circumstances were right...

SC does lack focus. That is why they always screw up and cost themselves a title spot. But, they are still easily the most talented team out there and would dominate any other team if motivated.

EXACTLY!

Just curious but do you think Utah is truly a better team than Alabama? I am fairly confident in saying no. This was not a normal setup for this game & it ended up playing out bad for them. Alabama has more talent from top to bottom than Utah. However Utah was the better team today but overall, they would get beat more times than not by Bama.
