Seriously, if this year doesn't give overwhelming evidence that a playoff is necessary, then I don't know what will. Alabama beat almost everyone this year, struggled with a few (admittedly) but pulled out the win, finally lost to a powerhouse in Florida (who dominated all but two teams) after giving them a tough game, and then lost to an undefeated overwhelming underdog from a mini-conference in the first quarter! The first quarter is OUR quarter, yet we got beat before we even had a chance to breathe.

My point: how do we know Utah ISN'T the best team in the nation? Florida is a monster. Ole Miss beat them. Bama almost beat them. Bama beat Ole Miss. Ole Miss beat Texas Tech. Texas Tech beat Texas. Texas beat Oklahoma. USC beat everyone but Oregon State. Utah beat Oregon State and Alabama decisively. What's the best argument against Utah? They're in a small conference?? It looks like everyone is beating everyone with no clear best team. Except maybe Utah, but they don't count, right?

Everyone trolled on about Florida's speed, but they failed to dust Alabama. In my opinion, Utah is faster than Florida. I honestly don't know how Utah got past our line repeatedly and at will. But again, because they aren't in a politically relevant conference, they won't be considered for the big title. I have a problem with that.

I haven't checked the blogs on espn.com yet, but I'm sure many will agree with me.

BTW, Bama haters: this wasn't even supposed to be our year. We weren't supposed to be that good yet. Boy, the next few years are REALLY gonna suck, huh?
