Utes: National Champs

I agree with the sports columnist Rick Reilly when he felt that Utah deserved to be crowned the national champ in football. In fact, since the title is mythical anyway and the BCS has done nothing to ensure a true national champ is crowned, I'm just going to maintain that since Utah ran the table, didn't lose a game, and seal-clubbed those Alabama boys back to their sheds, that they are the champs.

In the absence of a playoff, 4 teams have each made arguments that they are the nation's best. With the exception of Utah, each has to explain away their one loss. USC was beat by Oregon State (a team Utah beat if one were to go use the "BYU Argument"). Florida lost to Ole' Miss and Texas lost to Oklahoma. Utah? They don't have to explain nuthin' - they won all of their games.

The "BYU Argument" will cleary show that Utah beat the very same Oregon State team that beat USC; that Ole Miss beat Florida, then lost to South Carolina who beat Tennessee who lost to Wyoming while Utah beat Wyoming - 40 to 7. Finally, Texas lost to Texas Tech who was beat by....you guessed it, Ole Miss...who beat Florida...

Quod erat demonstrandum (Q.E.D.).
