Final ap poll.

Florida comes in number one like it should be but how in the hell did Utah jump USC? really USC beat a higher ranked team and was 2 spots ahead of them. wow
got to say that were did all the usc love go? maybe its because Utah is sueing the bcs. what a bunch of cry babies. join a bcs conferance and we wouldnt of had this discussion.
Your post makes no sense. USC beat a number 8 team, and Utah beat a number 4 team.

USC may be the favorite if they played each other, but there is no way that you can argue that USC's season was more impressive than Utah's. Alabama was the strongest team on either team's schedule, so Utah has the most impressive win. Utah beat their only common opponent, and thus Utah didn't lose a game. Mountain west was 6-1 against the pac 10, so the case could be made that Utah had the stronger conference schedule. I don't see how you could make any case that USC deserves to be higher. They should have been given #1.
