Florida deserves the National Title as much as USC or Texas, but I'm not sure they deserve it any more than either of those two teams. Very unsatisfying to have a bunch of sports writers and coaches picking the champion, instead of having it decided on the field.
What does everyone think about Utah's argument?
Utah:
- Went 13-0 and is the only unbeaten team in Division I.
- Beat Alabama 31-17 in the Sugar Bowl. Alabama was the #1 rated team 5 of the last 6 polls of the regular season, until they were defeated by Florida, 31-20.
- Beat four Top 25 teams.
- Beat six bowl teams.
I know that Utah didn't play in the SEC or the Big 12, but it's not like they played nobody and they were the only team to go 13-0. I'm sure they would lose to Florida or USC straight up, but everyone thought they would lose to Alabama, too.
