a number of other really great teams I have also watched. But their D is really, really good. Their running back is really, really good. Their offense overall is very good. Who they “deserve” to beat out I couldn’t say. The system sucks.
I think if it were an 8 or 16 team playoff I could easily say they deserve to be in. But when it is only 4 teams and there are some really great teams like Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota, Penn State, or Oklahoma that would have to be left out to let Utah in, I can only say they are clearly a top ten team that given the chance could win it all, but I could say that of the others that could get left out of the dumb 4 team format.
