Texas fans are like Ohio State except they think they're God's gift to football and worship Mack Brown, one of college football's more overrated coaches.
I need to make sure I'm reading this correctly. You're saying Ohio State fans don't think they're God's gift to football?
Well no, not necessarily. But Texas fans think that football everywhere else is inferior.

I wish the Falcons better luck next season.

If Texas beats Ohio State they will have beaten 4 Top 25 teams, the same as Utah. I'm not saying Utah is the clear-cut #1 team in the country but to say they have no legitimate claim to the top spot is flat-out wrong.

Texas has already beaten four top 25 teams. Tech, OU, Mizzou and Okie Jr.

But on the other hand, they had the weakest non con schedule of any of the teams in the argument.

Utah to me has a great argument, they didn't lose, they beat Bama by more than Florida did and they beat the team that beat USC.

Let's look at the schedule/results:

Undefeated
Beat Alabama and TCU - both will likely finish in the top 10 (or very close)
Beat Oregon State - Oregon State beat USC, will finish in the top 25
Beat BYU - is a borderline top 25 team, but will likely finish 20-25
Beat a couple other decent teams, like Air Force and CSU.

I agree. Utah has a case...are they the best? Prolly not...but who knows what would happen if Utah played FL or OK instead? Utah is simply an oustanding team.

Playoffs might solve this... :-D

Yeah, this bowl season will shoot a hole in the "+1 system fans". Although they'd probably just put USC against FL/OK and tell Utah "they had their shot".

All that said, and they were a FG away from losing to a 3-9 Michigan team lol...

but for real, after watching them play against the Wolverines, I knew this Utah team was very good - did I think they'd beat Bama? No. Therefore, I take my hat off to the Utes!

I am too. I want BG to be just like Utah, Boise State and TCU. That is the level our program needs to shoot for. Utah, BSU and TCU are right there with most of the top BCS programs.

The 85 scholarship limit is slowly evening the playing field.

I do feel bad for MobileBama, our friend Tom down in Mobile.
Let's just focus on winning thr MAC for once and then we can dream bigger.
Good point, Rollo. But I still want to see BG build a program that rivals Boise State, Utah and TCU.

What if they did? Oregon State beat USC...why not? As good as the Trojans are, they are not unbeatable. Except it they're playing Slowhio State. :-D
