Tim Tebow looked like a man out there last night in Miami. He showed Sam Bradford and the Oklahoma Sooners why he won the Heisman Trophy a couple of years ago. Nevertheless, with the help of Percy Harvin and the Florida Gator defense, they earned their third national championship after defeating the Sooners 24-14 in Pro Player Stadium.
After the game was over, Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham spat at his television, landing the saliva and mucus cluster on Florida head coach Urban Meyer's face.
Utah feels that they are not getting enough attention and that they deserve more after finishing a perfect season. 13 wins, no losses. The Utes manhandled Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, proving once again as mid-majors that they stand tall. However, with an impeccable record and a troubled Bowl Championship Series system, Whittingham was upset.
As a coach and member of the AFCA, each member is to vote the winner of the championship game as the best team in the nation. Whittingham considered, while knowing the consequences, and voted for his squad to be number one. This violates the AFCA guidelines, and it is possible that he may be reprimanded. Though one group says he is wrong, should we agree to that?
I don't think he is doing anything dumb, but it was up to the voters and what name your team is. If it is not Oklahoma, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, or USC, then there is a great chance that you won't play for a title. You might get recognized for your efforts, but you won't get that awesome crystal ball.
After the first wave of bitching, Utah lands the number two spot. Hey, I'd be proud of that unless I have Ricky Bobby's father's mentality in that 'if you're not first, you're last.' Now, the Utes are getting help from the state's attorney general. Mmm, legal issues. Won't get you anywhere but the headlines, Utah. Should they continue with the debate, there is no reason why the tensions would escalate to that of Israel and Palestine.
