Analysis

I am sick of hearing all these sportswriters and announcers talking about how Texas should have gone to the Big 12 title game over Oklahoma, because it was settled on the field, and head-to-head trumps everything, and all sorts of nonsense

You're real smart!

EXACTLY.

Personally I think Oklahoma and USC are the 2 best teams. Utah and Florida however are the most deserving for the title game.

I think Florida and Oklahoma are the two best and USC is 3rd. If I were picking two teams to play in the title game I would pick Florida and Oklahoma, so I'm satisfied. Sucks for Utah though.

Utah is yet another example of how Division I-A football (excuse me, the "FCS Subdivision") really only comprises about 60 teams, not the 119 they claim. It is clear that even going undefeated is not enough to give you a shot at the title if you're not in a BCS conference, and this is just another example (it's the second time for Utah alone). To me, that means you're not really playing in the same division since it is not possible for you to win the title of that division no matter how good you are.

I bet you still get more money than if you were dominating a lower division though, so whatever.
