If the 10.5-point favored Tide win, they were supposed to. On the other hand, if the Tide lose, they will go down in bowl infamy alongside Oklahoma, which suffered a 2007 Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State.

Alabama will certainly be ready for Utah’s offense. The Utes are coached by Kyle Whittingham, who was with Urban Meyer when Meyer coached the Utes to prominence in 2004 with an undefeated season. Now Meyer is the coach at Florida, which beat Alabama in the SEC championship game. Alabama should be ready for what Utah is going to do offensively.

If Utah can win it will make a huge statement for non-BCS teams. Lose badly, and the BCS will have another case to flex its muscles over the non-BCS conferences.

    Utah beat the team that held on to the number one ranking for 5 weeks. which was longer than either of the teams playing for the "NOW DISPUTED" National Championship. Utah is the only team in the nation that is undefeated. We won our bowl game. The suger bowl has been a long time bowl game to decide the National Championship. Therefore the UNIVERSITY OF UTAH ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.
