Case in point. Take Utah last season. Had they been preseason top 7 or 8, they would have played in the national title game.


In the end the voters would not allow utah to play over a more prestigious program.

I'm not so sure. Keep in mind, South Florida made it all the way to #2 in October a few years ago. If Utah started at #7 and held a top 2 spot in October/early November they may have been ranked high enough in the final BCS poll to lock up a championship spot.

But who knows? The BCS is a total clusterfrick.

Point being, if they started the year ranked higher, they at least might have had a shot getting to the title game. Coming from outside the top 15, they never had a chance.
