What was the situation at the top of the BCS picture in 04 with Utah?

If BYU goes undefeated and plays in the MNC game, I'll be Jerry Creekster's uncle.

Nobody is saying that as a "normal" circustance. In most years, an undefeated BYU would not come close to the MNC game. This has been an unusual year. What we're saying is that an undefeated BYU this year might have gotten a shot. And the Colley computer poll agrees.

That's why the "Hawaii model" is misleading. If you had 2 or 3 undefeated BCS teams, and most others were 1 loss ... Hawaii might bot even be top 15 this year, much less 12. |

One, my school would win a national championship. Two, you would be part of my family.

And the geniuses that make the call or feed data into the computers picked the least deserving of those 3 to be the team to play USC.

Lincoln, NE South Bend, IN all have metro populations similar to or smaller than SLC, yet house BCS schools and National Champions. The issue isn't population. It is national appeal.

South Bend is 1 hour drive from Chicago. 3 hours from Detroit and 2 hours from Indianapolis. That's over 10 million people.
