Florida's a huge #1 in the AP poll - It should be noted that the BCS doeasn't use the AP, just the Harris and the Coaches. But this pretty much shuts out the dream that Texas might have had about a split title.

I'm suprised Ohio State finished 9th. Rewarded for playing tough against Texas obviously.

Utah got 14 first place votes. USC 1. Speaking of the AP Poll of course. Utah beat as many Top 25 and Top 10 teams as Florida did. Only different is Florida also lost to Mississippi...and Utah didn't lose at all. Now as far as how good the other teams they played were, I think the bottom MWC team's record against BCS schools this year shows that they are just as talented as the bottom BCS schools. I firmly believe that if Utah played in a BCS conference, they still likely would have gone undefeated. They were the best bowl team I saw this year...and played strong all year. But their name is Utah so they aren't allowed to win a national championship.

As far as the coach's poll. I thought Mack Brown said he was voting Texas #1. Nobody did. But somebody voted Utah #1 in the coach's. I don't know how that is possible though. I thought they all HAD to vote the BCS champion #1. Obviously I was wrong.

Obama just had a question at the end of the press conference asking about who should be the national champion. He said Utah, USC, Texas all have a beef, and that is why we need a playoff. I love how the President wants a playoff. He needs to use his power to make this happen. :)
