Anyone claiming that Utah gets killed by either of these teams

[TripletDaddy]

as I'm watching the game tonight, I just leaned over to my wife and said "either one of these teams would kick the crap out of Utah".

You are a hopeless romantic.

[ERCougar]

You are a hopeless romantic.

I got her a watch. What do you want?

[TripletDaddy]

You hit the nail on the head every team in the country but Utah is overrated. Way overrated and they dont belong on the same field as Utah. Utah is clearly the most superior team in the history of college football.

what this boils down to is how badly Utah fan still suffers from LBS.

All this chest thumping for respect over a very legitimate top 3 finish. Yawn.

[TripletDaddy]

I got her a watch. What do you want?

You could have at least leaned over and said, "you are as hot as Tim Tebow's alleged girlfriend"

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

So let me get this right...

SEC = Overrated
Big 12 = Overrated (No defense, offenses weren't that good)
Pac 10 = Overrated (Or is it an Overrated USC plus 9?)
Big East = Overrated (who was their BCS representative?)
ACC = Overrated (who was their BCS representative?)
Big 10 = Overrated (1-6 in Bowl games?)

MWC = The best!

Answer this question, honestly and truthfully. On an average Saturday, would either of these teams beaten New Mexico by more than 3 points? Air Force by more than 7? Weber State by more than 16? In my honest opinion, I believe the answer to all three of those questions is yes.

Perhaps those games were on any given Saturday for New Mexico, Air Force and Weber State.

Florida just held the most prolific offense in college football history, over 700 points on the season, averaging 35 points per game in the first half, 60 points in 5 straight games, to 14 points!

Do you not realize how impressive that is? You are looking very ignorant and have the red goggles on very tight right now.

Utah scored 13 against New Mexico for hells sakes, I could only imagine what they would do to Floridas D.

This was a good game by two very good teams, not sure how you can dispute that. Florida proved that they are the national champs.

Correction. Florida proved it is the BCS champions.

Until all teams have the same chance to win, there is no national champion.

It depends. Is it the Utah team that played New Mexico, Air Force, Weber, or the team that played Alabama? If it was the Utah team that played Alabama, then yes I would expect them to win by more. If it is the Utah game that I saw the other 4 or 5 times I watched them, honestly, no.

ps I think this game can be summed up by going back to the first half and watching Florida with that goal line stand, keeping OU at bay on a 3rd and goal, then a 4th and goal. Icewater.

This is when I knew the game was lost. After that I just watched to see whether it would even be close.

If Flash were smart, he would cash in tonight on some major lovin. You are probably really stressed right now!

ps did your folks do ok with tix? I was thinking about them. The stadium looked pretty full, but the corners had empty seats.

[Jeff Lebowski]

You are talking out of your butt!

Bingo.

And that last INT was incredible.

Which was the true Utah team?

As you pointed out, that is the beauty and ugliness of college football. The only thing that can be done is to play the games and see what happens.

The difference between us and everyone else is that all anyone can do to diminish us is point to ugly wins. Everyone else has to explain a loss.

if he were smart. Just like the Sooners failed to capitalize on two first-and-goals, this was definitely a missed opportunity for some serious, um, "consolation."

<Barbara walks in from watch party, an hour after the game ends>
Flash: "Oh, wow, is the game already over?"
Barbara <rolls eyes>: "No dear, I left at halftime."
Flash: "So, did OU win?"
Barbara: "Do I LOOK like we won?"
