They didn't deserve to be #1. God knows they have received so many breaks over the years, much like Notre Dame, that they don't deserve to whine. Ohio State came within 50 seconds of showing the nation how overrated the Big 12 was this year: Texas Tech was demolished by Ole Miss, OU was dumped by Florida and OSU was manhandled in their bowl.
Utah played a patty-cake schedule. Check their opponents' record. If not for the 11 or 12 wins of Bama in their last game their opponents would have been sub .500. Bama at the end of the year was the 4th best team in the SEC and played like the 12th best. Kudos to the Utes for an undefeated season but c'mon, they weren't deserving of number 1.
If anyone has a gripe it's USC but that's another story for another day.
Congrats to the Gators and the SEC, still the best conference in the country and when Tennessee, Arkansas and Auburn get back on track it won't even be close.
