So SC's loss actually was a really quality loss. Therefore, it would not be unfair for them to play for the title.

So I guess we agree on that.
No. I hypothesized OSU winning the Pac 10, and said if USC can't even win the Pac 10 it has no busines in the NC game, certainly not more than Utah, which, per my hypothetical, finished unbeaten, and beat OSU.

Then we disagree.

You can win any other sport's championship without winning your own conference or division.

Now you are the one being inconsistent.

Nobody but you thinks that Utah is better than USC. Maybe you know something that over 100 other coaches do not.

They're probably the second best team in the PAC-10 right now...agree? Or at least it's very close - I think they're on par with both Cal and Oregon.

BTW, is that David Locke in your avatar? - LOL.

The numbers don't lie. BSU is overrated. OSU would beat them.
Will your brain explode if Oregon beats Oregon State? Are you having a tough time with the following?

Stanford 36 Oregon State 28
UCLA 23 Stanford 20
BYU 59 UCLA 0

That's funny.

Boy, if only we had a way to settle this once and for all. If only BYU and Utah could actually play each other...

Exactly.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion.

Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

They don't need to play. According to SU's irrefutable guidelines for determining which teams are better, BYU will definitely beat Utah. The universe will cease to exist otherwise.

I could easily see them losing at San Jose this week, or Fresno State at the end of the season.

By the way, I can't believe we stayed as high as we did.

There are a few provisions in the BCS rules that assist more than one mid-major in receiving a BCS invite:

-No more than 2 teams from any conference may participate
-All teams ranked in the top 14 are eligible for at-large selections, regardless of conference

This year, it is not unfathomable that the final BCS rankings will include 6 Big 12 teams and 4 SEC teams in the top 14, but only 4 of them may participate. Moreover, although only the highest ranked mid-major within the top 12 becomes an automatic qualifier, a mid-major in the top 14 remains an eligible qualifier.
