This is the same old tired argument.... Utah would be a 9-3 or 8-4 type team in a BCS conference. They are a talented team, however playing and beating Bama with weeks to prepare is not the same as beating Bama and then having to turn around and travel to play LSU, then Tenn, then Georgia etc...... We all want a playoff, again however I think Alabama would have had a little extra zing in their step if it was a playoff game and not a consolation prize for being the SEC runner up. Great Season Utah, big wins over Mich, Oregon St, Alabama and TCU... but i think a Utah v. OU game would end up the same as the TCU v.OU game....
