Utah out of BCS bowl

[The Ancient Enemy]

The two teams no one cares about that are playing the best ball in the country right now are Utah and Bowling Green.

We'll see how good Utah is when it comes bowl time. They'll actually have to play someone then.

[The Ancient Enemy]

Theoretically.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Just want them to play a good team in the bowl game regardless what bowl they are in!

[The Ancient Enemy]

If they don't win a BCS bid, they're gonna get stuck playing in the Liberty Bowl against probably Louisville. Actually, that might be the best bowl game of the whole season. If they don't play Louisville, they'll play someone and beat the crap out of them and then everyone will say "well they beat Southern Miss. so they still suck." Utah can't win with you people.

[deliverance]

They can't win with me because with that easy of a schedule 40-50 other teams in the nation would be undefeated. If they are really good, they should've decided to schedule someone to prove to everyone they are that good.

[The Ancient Enemy]

Deliverance, college football schedules are usually made 3-4 years in advance! And as far as 40-50 other teams being undefeated, that's obviously true. But keep in mind here that Utah is not someone like Miami who would wake up one day and decide to start playing in the Sun Belt, and win 500 straight games. Utah is ALSO a Mountain West team, and they deserve some credit for what they have accomplished. So does Boise State. It's not their fault they don't play in the Pac 10. But they might someday. That's why you need smaller conferences as well as bigger ones, so teams can move up and down.

[fleaflicker]

I don't think 40 or 50 teams would be undefeated with that schedule. Texas A&M is a tough team, and Colorado State is alright. Maybe 10 teams other than the ones currently unbeaten could do that with Utah's schedule, but not much more.

It is a mess with this bowl stuff right now.
