Utah is undefeated and ranked #8, but faced a tought opponent last night in #12 TCU. The Horned Frogs D is disgustingly tough and the offense plays stright up, hard nosed football. They held juggernaut Oklahoma to it's lowest scoring output of the entire season and were gunning for the MWC title. In a tough, low-scoring game, the Utes rallied late for the victory, 13-10. Now they need to beat SDSU and in-state rival BYU to earn a BCS spot.
Also rolling on is Boise State. They've played a much easier schedule (WAC seems much softer than MWC) and have been to the dance before. They've proved they can beat a big-boy and deserve a shot. We could end up with two, non-BCS, undefeated teams ranked inside the top-12 and looking for at large spots. Well, only one will get in. I do not have that much faith in the bowls to pick both of them. And, yes, I understand that it's debateable if both should even be allowed to go.
But, think about this. What if BYU beats Utah? That's a 3 way tie. Rules say they use a hed-to-head with competitive teams. So, let's say Utah finishes 11-1 with a loss to BYU, but stays ranked in the top-16 and higher than the ACC and Big East champs, They go BCS-busting.. or, do they? Las Vegas Bowl gets the first choice, after the BCS passes.
