media wouldn't take a non big name school, unless their other options did something to really tick them off, which won't happen.

I actually think it's the other way around. I think the media is looking to give the non-BCS schools a shot. They did it with BYU in 1984. The media looks for the best story. Boise St. a couple of years ago was a nice one. Utah this year destroying Alabama, who until the SEC championship game was #1 in the country, is a nice one. The media has to love this. Nothing creates interest like controversy and Utah has created some big time controversy now. What better way to take advantage of the situation than by voting Utah #1 in the AP poll? It won't happen but I think that would be great.
