The controversy over the injustice in selecting college's top football team — fueled by the Utah's thumping of Alabama in the Sugar Bowl — continues to roil.

John Feinstein of the Washington Post has published an open letter to his 72 sportswriting colleagues in the AP college football poll asking for what amounts to civil disobedience "for college football's sake":

I am writing to urge you -- no, implore you -- to cast your final ballot of the season with one team and one only team ranked No. 1: the University of Utah.

I say this not to demean the performance of Southern California, Texas or the winner of Thursday's Oklahoma-Florida game. All are fine teams that have had outstanding seasons. They have, however, one thing that Utah does not have.

A loss.

All of us know that in competition anyone -- whether an individual or a team -- who does not lose once is the champion. It's really pretty simple: If no one beats you, then you are the winner. You are No. 1. You go home with the first-place trophy.

Mike Celizic of NBCSports.com offers a similar argument bluntly titled: "Utah has a better case for No. 1 than Texas."

Meanwhile, former Ute coach Urban Meyer, now at Florida, told The New York Times the Utes proved themselves against one of the two toughest offensive lines in college football (Oklahoma is the other):

It wasn’t surprising to me that they won the game; it was surprising to me that they dominated like that. Especially up front

I knew they lost two defensive linemen earlier in the year. When we were there, we had these big 300-pound monsters inside. They didn’t. They were more on speed and quickness. It’s a different defense; they did a great job.

Even members of that other toughest offense commiserate with the Utes. Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford says:

I really don’t know what I would say to [Utah]. To go 13-0 and not have a shot to be in the game, it’s obviously tough for them. It’s the system we have and the system we have to deal with.

Sooners center Jon Cooper says:

They did everything they could. There’s not a perfect system.

Of course, you knew it wouldn't take long for this whole thing to go absurd. Utah Publicity pig Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who avoids at all cost investigating little things like voter fraud in Daggett County, has announced he is considering a probe of the BCS for monopolistic practices.
