Screw the BCS. Now that all the smoke has cleared, who do YOU think should be the National Champion?

Poll to follow.

And I agree with Doyel. Utah, IMO, would get their butt kicked against Florida.

We will never know.

Florida never struggled against mediocre teams like New Mexico, Weber St or Michigan.

How'd they do against Ole Miss?

Ole Miss finished ranked in the top 15. I just think that Utah would not be undefeated if they played in a tougher conference such as the SEC or Big 12 or even the Pac 10.

The one thing that I don't agree with Doyel about is the playoff. I think a playoff system starting in December right after the conference championship games is what we need. Why bring up the fans have to travel week after week? That doesn't seem to affect March Madness. Many of the fans at those sites are just hoops fans that want to see NCAA tourney games. Not fans of a particular team. I would imagine it would be the same way for NCAA football playoffs.

I think USC is the best team, but Utah went undefeated.

Utah, because K-State is pillaging their coaching staff and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Who'd have thought it?

Utah is undefeated, that should do it.

Yeah, giving Utah the NC because they went undefeated and Florida did not is like giving a scholarship to a kid because he got an A in Basket Weaving, Modern History: 2007, and Gym; as opposed to a kid who got an A in AP classes and a B+ in AP Calculus. I'd love to see a playoff and see what Utah could do against USC, Texas, or Florida... but as it stands, Florida is the NC, and IMO it's not even much of an argument.

If OU would have won last night, I'd pick Utah. But seeing as how UF stymied the OU offense, I have to pick them.

In a system where they like to talk about rankings and a single loss being able to knock you out of the top spot, I have to vote for the Utes. Rankings are such an arbitrary and self serving system, as if the money that gets shared with the rest of the schools within your division doesn't play into the fact that all the coaches and media in that area don't vote to try to keep their teams higher as the bigger bowl game they are in, the more money they all get. Of course waiting 30+ days to play a game really doesn't tell you who the true champion is anyway, as in a months time too many things can get out of sync.
