The BCS sucks

[Mano]

Ok, I am a Utah fan, and the BCS seems to be screwing my team right now. I have watched the team all year, and they are very good. Arguments can be made for how good they are based on scoring margins, common opponents and what not. Bashers will point to strength of their conference schedule. None of this should matter,as it should be determined on the field of play. It is time to do away with the horrible, biased BCS system and bring a playoff system to college football.

Utah has a football team?

[MrGo]

If it was a playoff system, Utah wouldn't be included. They shouldn't be in the top 10.

[ThaSaltCracka]

dude, they play crap opponents. Boise State is the same way.

[Mano]

Pretty much the same response I would expect get from the east coast voters for the polls. The fact that it is so rare for my team to be this good makes us getting shafted sting even more.

They blew out the North Carolina team that beat Miami two weeks later. Also blew out Texas A&M, which took Oklahoma to the brink last week. As I said, both sides can be argued for. It needs to be decided on the field.

Bashers will point to this fact: Utah has only won 2 games against teams with a winning record- Texas A&M at 6-3, and New Mexico 5-4. The A&M game was at home. Utah hasn't played a tough game on the road out of the altitude (where the BCS bowls are played).

Seven of their wins came aginst these heavyweights: Arizona is 2-7, San Diego State is 2-7, CSU is 3-6, UNLV is 2-7, N. Carolina is 4-5, Air Force is 4-5, Utah State is 2-7. The Carolina game, which you cite to as a quality win, was also a home game. Play somebody Urban.

Have you seen them play? Their strength of schedule is better than Wisconsin's. They blew out Texas A&M which nearly beat Oklahoma last week, and also blew out North Carolina, who then beat Miami. The MWC sucks this year, but no worse than the Big East, and West Virginia is going to get an automatic BCS bowl bid with a much less impressive resume.

[ThaSaltCracka]

precisely. Utah is having the same problem this year that Boise State has every year. Their team is really good when compared to the conference they play in, but outside of their conference they are simply a middle of the pack good team.
