SO Unfair!

Okay so those of you who know me well, know that I'm a big BYU football fan, true blue through and through. Blue = good, Red = Evil.

However, Utah this year (like in their 04 season) got a bid to a BCS bowl. For those of you unfamiliar, that means: They be VERY good. They went to the Sugar Bowl as the ONLY undefeated team in college football. They played Alabama who, before this game, spent a large part of the season in first place. They were strong and looking to go to the national championship. They lost thier last game and dropped from first to 4th.

Now Utah was the only undefeated team but still in 6th place (it's a long story why, but it has a lot to do with strenth of schedule). AAAaaaaanyway....


Utah CRUSHED Alabama last night in the Sugar Bowl. It was AWESOME! Why am I rooting for the devil (Utah)? Because they are a Mountain West team, and it's GREAT for our conference if a team can break into the BCS.

Why unfair then? Because now Utah is the ONLY undefeated team in college football. But they're done. They don't get a shot at the national title. Who's to say they'd lose to who ever wins the naitonal championship next week? It's absurd. The BCS system sucks. WE NEED A PLAYOFF!
