Anyone claiming that Utah gets killed by either of these teams

Part of what happened with Alabama is what happens when a 4 or 5 star recruit picks BYU or Utah early and is "re-evaluated" and comes back with a lesser grade. The idea that a recruit could pick one of those schools over a Pac 10 or Big 12 school simply means that they must not be good as previously thought. Similarly, because Utah wiped the floor with Alabama, they clearly are not as good as we thought they were...despite the fact that the two teams they lost to all year collectively have 1 loss between them.

Well Alabama lost to us. That proves conclusively they weren't any good. Also, the fact that we played better against Alabama than Florida did points very strongly to the fact that Florida would blow us out.

Good logic, so that means you guys matchup well against Florida but not so much against Oklahoma since they blew out TCU and you escaped with a win.

SOONERS 2009 NATIONAL CHAMPS!

I'm pretty sure that any of the teams you just mentioned, including TCU, would blow us out if we played them today. I have become convinced that Alabama just wasn't very good and that when you count up the close wins we had this year that we are really no better than 9-4 at the most. In fact, it may well be the case that the win over Alabama was faked by the same people who faked the Moon landing. When you think about it, it isn't rationally possible so there must be some other explanation.
