I still think Utah got hosed.

IMO Utah, Texas, USC all have a legit argument. I honestly believe in a playoff format, USC would have come out on top. I agree with the argument above though placing Utah ahead of USC in the rankings because of the like-opponent game with Oregon St.

It's a pipe dream to think we are going to have a playoff though. The worst thing happened with Florida getting the nod in both polls. If Utah or USC would have been voted as the AP #1, thus creating a split champion, the argument could have been pushed and possibly listened to.

A split National Championship would continue the splintering of the BCS system. Each year a playoff gains more supporters and another split championship would likely continue that trend. Eventually, one has to believe that the college presidents would agree to a playoff system of some kind.
