Show THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 2010. SEASON continued from Page 8 driving home what you had thought all along: I knew it was too good to be true. What a joke. The argument against teams from non-BCS schools usually stems from a lack of quality opponents, but Utah didn't lack in that category either, beating Michigan in the big house, Oregon State (which kept national powerhouse Southern Cal out of the national championship) and two games against top 15 teams, both of which were Mountain West Conference foes—No. ii TCU and No. 14 BYU. No, the MWC might not be as strong as the SEC or the other BCS conferences, but it is also not so far behind that the onlyundefeated team in the nation doesn't get a shot, or even a share, of the national championship.

But when one team and one team alone keeps its schedule "L" free and does not get its chance to prove why it is undefeated on the highest platform, then it's not just a joke, but a knock against all things that we believe. Commentator and journalist Brit Hume once said, "Fairness is not an attitude. It's a professional skill that must be developed and exercised." Guess he was wrong.
