Rick Reilly in Utah's corner

PrintFind me anybody else that went undefeated. Thirteen-and-zero. Beat four ranked teams. Went to the Deep South and seal-clubbed Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
No other team can claim what Utah has this season. They didn't win on a fluke in their bowl game, they didn't play a bunch of scrubs and sure, while a few of their games were close, they don't have to excuse away a loss like Florida, Texas, USC and Oklahoma. Had any of those teams finished undefeated, I think Utah's case would be less than it is now. But they didn't and for that, I have a real hard time believing they are more deserving than a 13-0 Utah team that beat four ranked teams.
Rick Reilly, thank you for this. Now hopefully even more people join the cause. GO UTES!

Obama - throw his weight around
Obama could begin to fulfil his promise to throw his weight around by inviting the nation’s only undefeated team to the WhiteHouse, in honor of their achievement. This would be ceremonial, but it would begin to crank up pressure on the BCS.
Oh wow....
….would that be enough to turn Utah blue? Somehow I doubt it. ;)
Would be a really cool thing to do though. I wonder if he’s been paying enough attention to think to invite them, or if his anti-BCS talk was just pandering to GET MY VOTE!!!
He could also issue an executive order declaring Utah
National Champions. He won’t, but it’s certainly within his powers to do so.
Everyone hates a pink-shirt-wearing communist.
Oh, and while we're at it, I'd like someone to give me a new ferrari and enough money to pay the taxes and registration on it.
Not likely, but a guy can dream. :)
