Utah deserves a share of the National Championship-from a Tide fan

I hated Utah. I hated everything about them for about three days. I thought to myself, "This is so embarassing! It would have been different if it were USC or Texas." But then I stopped myself. Why would have it been different? Then I got to thinking, Utah is an extremely good football team. In fact, they are way more deserving than USC and Texas. The more and more I thought about it, I realized why. USC and Texas are from BCS conferences, Utah is not. USC and Texas are traditional football powers, Utah is not. This reason made me realize that the reason people don't want to accept that Utah deserves it is because they aren't SUPPOSE to deserve it. But Utah DOES deserve it. People, including myself, have got to swallow their traditional-BCS-powers-only pride and realize that what Utah did is a tremendous achievement. If Utah doesn't get a share of the National Championship, college football would basically be telling every single non-BCS team that they have ABSOLUTLEY NO CHANCE OF EVER WINNING A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Because Utah could not have done anything better than what they did this year. Utah played a pretty tough schedule and a much better MWC than we expected and beat every team on it. People keep talking about how USC should get a shot, Utah BEAT the team that USC lost to a week later. Thursday night, Florida will beat Oklahoma and win the BCS National Championship. Utah deserves to be co-champs as well. If Utah doesn't, it will be a HUGE shame and blackeye to college football. I hope you guys can get it.

+1 well said and we appreciate the respect. I'm sure after seeing comements like yours from other Bama

fans, us Utes fans will have a new-found soft spot in our hearts for Alabama Football. May you take back the throne Bama sat on high and ruled the SEC for years from. Best of luck in 2009, and stomp Auburn & LSU’s mudholes dry.

Another interesting take.

Florida is the Vegas favorite to win the title game Here is what their fans are saying

This is in response to a porported ESPN poll which had 67% saying Utah deserved a share of the title.

oklahomoa fans

appear to be focused on the task at hand, but are sympathetic to our case to have had a chance to prove our case on the field.
