Tonight is the FedEx BCS National Championship Game.

Too bad it won't deliver a true national champion.

Blame those troublemakers in Utah for that. Those crazy Utes just had to pummel Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and complete an undefeated season.

How dare they!

Didn't Utah get the memo? Teams from non-BCS conferences are not allowed to win major bowls and go undefeated.

They certainly aren't allowed to beat the Crimson Tide so thoroughly.

And under no circumstances are they permitted to be in a position to win a national title.

It's an affront to all that is holy.

It's like the Pittsburgh Pirates signing a big-name free agent.

It's like Scott Boras telling a client to take

less money.It's like the Buffalo Bills having a winning season.It's like Jon Gruden developing a young quarterback.It's just unnatural.So, tonight's game pitting Florida and Oklahoma might seem like a championship game, but it really won't be.There will be a big pink elephant in Dolphin Stadium tonight.Make that a big pink Ute.It's not the fault of Florida or Oklahoma. None of the numbers geeks at those two schools had a hand in coming up with the convoluted formula that put the Gators and the Sooners in the title tilt.Those programs just are taking advantage of a flawed system — a system that jilts an undefeated team for two one-loss ones.It's like passing on America's Top Model for Ugly Betty.But that's the situation college football fans face tonight as we hunker down in front of our TVs to watch a farce of a national title game.Utah could have gone 26-0, beat the 1971 Nebraska Cornhuskers, the 2001 Miami Hurricanes and the 1976 Pitt Panthers and still wouldn't have had a snowball's chance in Hades of winning the national title.Even Utah's attorney general believes that.Attorney General Matt Shurtleff is investigating the BCS, contending it may violate federal antitrust laws.He contends Utah, like many of the 119 Division-I college football teams, had no chance of winning a national title, no matter what they did on the field.He is correct.Do you think Buffalo had a shot? Boise State?Not a chance.Nada. Zip. Zilch.Those schools were playing for hamburger while BCS conference schools were playing for prime rib.Those schools were riding around town in a smart fortwo while the BCS schools were cruising in a hummer h2.And it's sad, really.Perhaps the winner of the Florida-Oklahoma game tonight would throttle Utah in a plus-one format.Perhaps the Utes would fold to the Gators and Sooners of the world.But Utah didn't wilt against the Crimson Tide, did it?We will never know.Mike Kilroy is a staff writer for the Butler Eagle.
