The crime isn't Utah going to the Fiesta bowl, it's the Big East still having a automatic BCS bid, meaning undeserving BC or Pitt is going to the Fiesta bowl to play Utah. This is what screwed Texas out of their bigger payday. This obvious mistake should have been resolved, prior to the 2004 season. Miami and Va Tech left the conference after 2003. BC to follow after their upcoming bowl game. One year too late.
Texas has a case but getting pissed at Utah , maybe the most exciting offensive team in college, rings hollow outside of Lubbock. I still view Texas as a good team that CANNOT beat Oklahoma. I watched beat Texas A&M yesterday. I'd much rather watch Utah play. Texas will still play in the Cotton bowl and get a good payday.
John Cooper used to win 10 + games at Ohio St. most every year. In 13 tries against Michigan, he won twice. It always tainted all the good things he did all year, up until that game. Eventually cost him his job. Mack Brown is in the same boat. He must get a win against Oklahoma within the next couple of years to completely validate his program. Otherwise, few outside of Lubbock will take them seriously as a true National Championship contender and the BCS will ignore them. The polls will always see them as #2 or #3 in their conference and vote accordingly.
Brown better figure out a way to beat Oklahoma. You don't need to cry for respect when you beat your highly ranked arch-rival. Try beating Oklahoma and taking care of business yourself.
