Ditto from my previous post. Utah didn't didn't get a chance to play for the championship, despite the fact they were 12-0 at the end of the season. That would have still been true even if they had beaten every team by 50 points. Sure theoretically it's POSSIBLE, but a non-BCS team would need a miracle to play for the title game, because they're not going to have the same number of overall good opponents as those from the BIG SIX. That doesn't mean that such a non-BCS team isn't just as good. It just means they won't be given the same opportunity UNTIL there is a real playoff.
