Ratings based system = what is the best team despite the records. One way to ascertain this is to play a mental tournament, of who would win the majority of games if the series were long enough. This negates the effect of upsets. 7 games seems long enough to dispel any notions of Utah making a run on any of the elite teams.

In a ratings based system you are trying to answer the question, who would win a best of 7 round-robin tournament (each team plays all the others 7 times) between:

Florida
OK
USC
Texas

Or if you want to make the argument that Utah would beat all of these teams 4 out of 7 times, be my guest.

This is why ratings based systems suck. You are always left with these stupid arguments at the end.
AFter what they did to Alabama, I would say they have a chance. Unfortunately, the NCAA does not want to give that chance. Ever.

I voted for Utah. The naysayers will say, "look at who they played, nobody". But let's face it the big schools don't want to play teams like Boise St or Utah. It sure as hell ain't from the lack of trying. IIRC a couple years ago, some major CFB team had scheduled BSU, and decided they didn't want to play them anymore so they bought them out.

Hate to say it, but it is Florida.

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

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

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.
