People, we need to be clear. By any traditional standard, indeed by any standard, the Utes are National Champions of College Football. We have heard calls to give the Utes a "share" of the title. That is absurd on its face. You can't give an undefeated team a "share," unless there is another major undefeated team. The undefeated team is the Champion. If there were another undefeated team, we would look at strength of schedule. But let’s look at that anyway. (13-0 beating 5 ranked teams) Utah beat Michigan at Michigan. Michigan had a rebuilding year because, well, Utah beat them. USC claims greatness after a loss to Oregon State, a team Utah beat the very next week. Now this Pounding of Alabama is of course the clincher. Let us note that Utah beat Bama worse than Florida did. Bama beat Ole Miss, who not only beat Florida at Florida (by blocking an extra point against Urban Meyer's enshrined special teams), but just beat Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl, the team who beat Texas. And Texas beat Oklahoma. If you don't like the Alabama/Ole Miss Connection: fine. Vanderbilt beat Ole Miss. Vanderbilt lost at home to Tennessee. The Wyoming Cowboys went down to Tennessee and whooped the Volunteers. (I'll spare you at this point the facts in support of The Mountain West Conference like the Pounding MWC handed the PAC-10 this year) It’s over folks. They will have an exciting Orange Bowl on Thursday, but the National Champion is Utah. Losing in college football almost always rules out a national title. It isn't a matter of who likes a team, or even who is supposed to be the better team by any analysis. It’s the team that wins, that is the champion. Utah is the outright National Champion of College Football this year.
