But they didn't and for that, I have a real hard time believing they are more deserving than a 13-0 Utah team that beat four ranked teams.
Rick Reilly, thank you for this. Now hopefully even more people join the cause. GO UTES!

... Lets start with game one ‘08, Utah…lost this game after a terrible showing and a valiant comeback. We all concur we should have won this one after playing stingy Defense and forcing the Utes to settle for 5 field goals. Oh wait…you mean possibly the worst team in Michigan history should have defeated the best team in Utah history? Yep, I do, and we should have won with a whopping 4 yards of rushing in the first half. This team finished #2 in the nation last year and we had them beat with 4 rushing yards in the first half. By the way we lost by 2 points to ...
