How many #1 votes did they get in the AP poll? Also, ESPN showed poll results last night. 14 states voted Utah #1...
As for what I think - I think they were not given an equal opportunity to prove whether or not they were the best...

I'm about to start handing out some suspensions to some BAMA fans if they don't cut out the ignorant sparring!!!! It's pretty obvious who is first, second and third on my short list.
Just checked the updated ESPN poll. 35% of respondants think that Utah would beat Florida on a neutral field...
So you can't debate on this site? Okay. I just don't like being called names.I'm about to start handing out some suspensions to some BAMA fans if they don't cut out the ignorant sparring!!!! It's pretty obvious who is first, second and third on my short list.
In the poll from last night, with over 200,000 respondants, 32% would have voted Utah #1. 43% for Florida. Not the result most on this board want to hear, but 57% of Americans disagree with the whole "Florida is the undisputed #1 team in America" thing. 57%...
You didn't answer my question...you love using that debating mojo.
You're right...I give. Utah is the best team and should be number 1. 64,000 Americans in 14 states can't be wrong.
I do love a parade...
Sorry, bayou

Utah: Congrats on a great season. It's a shame your schedule was so weak that you didn't have a shot at the national championship. It's pretty clear that you'd have had a much better shot at it had you played a tougher schedule.
Surely you can grasp that fact...

I wouldn't suggest using those numbers to claim that 57% of Americans disagree.
That poll is far from scientific. Who do you think would have a stronger interest to take the effort to vote in that poll?
Take a look at the FSU scheduling from '76 forward . Florida State Game by Game Results They would go anywhere to play anyone . That's a way to end some debates on the field and earn the respect that comes with it
That was a hoot
I can take care of the name calling too this isn't my first week of moderating.
I actually though of that after I posted it. You are right. Most Americans don't care. 57% of Americans who are avid college football fans and logged onto ESPN.com that late at night. That is probably more accurate. And, if you think about it, far more telling than 57% of Americans (as only the interested fans voted)...
Yep, except that FSU can schedule those games. Those teams are, by and large, right in their backyard. Utah has no one in their backyard that you would aprove of...Take a look at the FSU scheduling from '76 forward . Florida State Game by Game Results They would go anywhere to play anyone .

More accurate description but again, who has a larger interest to vote in the poll the haves (those beleiving that the team holding the trophy is the champion) or the have nots (those believing that any other team should be the champion)?
And how many top tier teams are going to give Utah a shot now? I'm betting not too many. Unfortunatly, most out of conference games are scheduled with a "W" already penciled in.
FSU traveled to Ok , Neb , OhSt , ND , AzSt and many other places during the 80's while builing credibility for their run of success during in the 90's .
OK, I've stayed out of this debate with you, mainly because I like you, but this pushed my button.
FSU built their rep by going anywhere to play anybody anytime. These games were not in "their backyard". The result was a national reputation that could not be ignored and eventually they were invited into the ACC (and the SEC for that matter).
Miami basically followed the same path with great success. Others have tried and and failed. For a while Tulane was almost playing an SEC schedule. Thay didn't fare to well and pulled back.
Granted, Utah did schedule Michigan and had no way of knowing Michigan would have their worst team in history. But that is one game. They need to make an all out committment to tough OOC schedule year in and year out on the road to force the pollsters to take notice. Until they do, they will still just be Utah, a pretty good Mountain West team.
I admire your defense of the little guy, but it might be time to take up another noble cause like feeding homeless beach mice in Gulf Shores.
