The University of Utah

Dawnell and I both graduated from the University of Utah and are both very pleased that we went there instead of other places. But this post isn't about our education. I just wanted to say thanks to a few people. So here you go:

Thanks to USC, for losing to a team that Utah beat. I'd also like to thank you for playing in a conference that got dominated by the Mountain West Conference all season long.

Thanks to Texas, for winning in the last seconds against a team with two quarterbacks who can't throw a pass five yards straight.

Thanks to Oklahoma and Florida, for both proving beyond any doubt that you were not far and away the two best teams in the nation. Yikes that was a poorly played game last night.

Thanks to the 16 AP voters who got it right and voted for the University of Utah as national champions.

Oh, and on a sarcastic note:

Thanks to the BCS for figuring out a way that a team who goes undefeated with victories over the 6th, 7th, 18th, and 25th best teams in the country doesn't deserve to play for the national title. I'm so glad that instead of rewarding perfection we reward a team that runs up the score on its mediocre opponents and loses at home to Mississippi, a team who only lost four times during the regular season.

There are no legitimate counter-arguments in my (admittedly biased) mind. The Utes schedule was sufficient that a perfect season should not be denied the perfect ending.
