Florida and OU both had losses yet they are playing for that mythical championship. Utah should be in that game if they are considered a major college team.

you're right...they don't all get a fair shake. it's why osu starts out most years high up in the polls. it explains why, a few years ago, michigan was picked by many to play osu again for the title, instead of florida. maybe utah should have been given more credit. but it's hard to say without trying. last year for instance, many thought hawaii was for real, and deserved a top spot since they were undefeated. i was one of those who thought they were overhyped, and felt georgia exposed them in the bowl game.
