Why didn’t Utah merit consideration to play for the BCS national title?
Why are the Utes, despite their 13-0 record, victories over four Associated Press top-25 teams and the champions of a conference that went 6-1 in the regular season against the Pac-10, watching one-loss teams Oklahoma and Florida play on Thursday?
Just ask some of the voters in the Harris Interactive Poll, which helps determine the title-game matchup.
“I did not see them play [in the regular season],” Bobby Aillet said.
“I didn’t see any live games,” Lance McIlhenny said. “I just [saw] highlights.”
“I don’t recall if I saw them play specifically during the regular season,” David Housel said. “I don’t remember a specific game.”
Alliet, McIlhenny and Housel aren’t alone. It turns out there were a number of Harris Poll (and presumably coaches’ poll) voters who never saw Utah play this season. At least until the Utes manhandled Alabama in a way that Florida could only dream.

And these guys have jobs? How hard is it in the US to get a satellite and watch any game in America? It's your frickin job.
Everyone on this board has watched Utah play numerous times. And we're just fans!
The BCS itself is a pretty good system. But with deadbeats voting in it, they have lost that right and somehow their has to be an 8 game playoff.
