Saurian Sagacity: The Official Blog for Inquisitive Florida Gators Fans: Why Not BYU?

With previously 3rd ranked Oklahoma out of the way, BYU has games remaining against 3 currently ranked teams, including Florida State, TCU and Utah.

Of the remaining ranked teams the Cougars face TCU and Utah are every bit as impressive as the "big name" in FSU. TCU is coming off an 11-2 season. Utah was of course undefeated last year, handling an impressive Alabama team in the Sugar Bowl.

Also consider the teams on our top-ranked Gators schedule. As of right now only 3 are ranked, including the same Florida State (and LSU, and now 1 loss Georgia).

Similarly second ranked Texas faces 3 currently ranked opponents, which include Oklahoma State, Kansas and the same Sooner team that just lost to BYU.

There are still a myriad of scenarios that have to play out, and I'm not saying an undefeated BYU team necessarily deserves a shot over two unbeaten BCS conference teams. But with Boise's undefeated season in '06, and Utah's last year, the time for thinking about the top non-BCS teams as lesser talent is long past.

They have served notice, and continue to do so. Any blatant BCS exclusion at this point serves only to further devalue the entire system.
