I was simply pointing out that Top Ute's argument was not ludicrous. Winning the Super Bowl is the best any NFL team can do, in terms of what is within that team's control. For a college team, winning all its regular season games and then winning a BCS bowl is the same: the best any college team can do, in terms of what is within that team's control.

It already has been... PAC12Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostWhen the history of college football is written, it sure will be nice to be counted amongst the champions. And heisman winners!
In other words, Boise and Utah haven't done squat since championships came into being. Tcu won one, so they are in the club.
Congrats on the two bowl wins and a second place finish. History will be kind to you, I am sure.
What was that Michigan teams record when BYU beat them for the National Championship?

According to LAute and Topute BYU has multiple "Superbowl" wins considering all of their wins in New Years day bowl games. I thought BYU was the best team in the country in 1996 when the beat Kansas State and went 14-1 but now I know they are. I wonder if we can throw a parade since we forgot to back then.*Banned*

You just described 1984. As a Bills fan, the comparison to Michigan is flattering.Originally posted by cougjunkie View PostThe funny part is the comparison to the super bowl for a team that is not even crowned the champion.
What a college team can do is toughen up their schedule a bit. Would it be fair if the Steelers were crowned superbowl champs when they played 16 games against the Browns, Lions and Rams? Then in the playoffs they beat the Bills and then quit playing and crown themselves world champs?
Coming from a fan of a team that throws parades for second place maybe you truly believe it is as good as a super bowl win.
