Final score from the Sugar Bowl: Utah 31 Alabama 17.
This is why BCS schools resist a college football playoff: They’re worried that some unheralded team from an “weak” conference will run the table and beat more storied, talented programs. BCS schools would loose their recruiting edge and suddenly college football teams would be a lot more balanced on the whole.
I think if there was a playoff system this year the Utes would have run the table and knocked off anyone in their path including Oklahoma and Florida*.
Congratuations, Utah.
Too bad you play in such a crappy post-season known as the BCS.
* I'm not a Ute fan. Just a football fan who wishes college football had a post season worth watching.
