And then Oregon does this

That's not true. When Buster beat Tyson in Toyko, he won the championship. Utah wasn't crowned national champions after smoking Bama.

Alabama isnt a football "hotbed".... our high school football sucks with exception of about 3 schools.

In 2011, the year Bama beat LSU in the NCG, 53 percent of the roster was comprised of athletes from the state.

Whatever you want it to be.
 
And yet Oregon has trouble winning the Pac-12, and will probably never sniff a national title again. lol

They weren't crowned champs because Florida beat #1 Oklahoma, while playing the toughest schedule in the country. I think it has been proven that both Utah and TCU would not have gone undefeated if they played a BCS-conference schedule during those years where they were left out of the championship games.

Yeap, as soon as them and TCU joined a real conference, everyone's theory about them not being able to last in a season-long battle with BCS conference teams was proven true.

They might be but they shole kicked that azz that night. I don't think BAMA was caught off guard either. Utah was just talented and they moved at a pace that Alabama was not accustomed to.

Those schools did not struggle playing in a BCS league prior to changing conferences.

Mountain West was not a BCS-power conference. They were just given a seat at the big boy table. Look at how TCU and Utah are doing in their respective conferences now. The Pac-12 isn't even that good, and Utah is struggling to make a bowl game. Heck even BYU isn't doing too well being Independent.

All FBS leagues are classified as BCS conferences. However, not all leagues are automatic qualifying conferences, though.

Come on dude, you know what I am talking about. No one outside of the NCAA officials considers those non-Big 5 conferences as BCS schools.

UTAH just had a good run with Urban's recruits. They are what they are. TCU will be back in the thick of things soon (IMO). Too much talent around them.

They'll get spanked by LSU though.

Yeah I agree that TCU will eventually get up to a competitive level, but I think the things folks said those schools would struggle with came true (depth).

Muhammad Ali got whipped. Joe Louis got whipped. Bear Bryant got whipped. Eddie Robinson got whipped.

Being a champion doesn't mean you win every fight or every game. It just means that when you do get knocked down . . . you get back up . . . and commence to whipping arse.

And that is exactly what the mighty Crimson Tide has done. They lost to Utah on the first day of January 2009 - they then went on to go undefeated in the 2009 regular season, and spanked Texas in the BCS Championship game. They had an off-year by Bama's standards in 2010, and lost three games, but went on to pound Michigan St. in their bowl game. They only lost one game in 2011 (to LSU) in overtime, and responded by crushing LSU in the BCS National Championship game, shutting them out, and allowing them to cross the 50 yard-line only once. They only lost one game in 2012 (to TA&M) on a last play interception at A&M's one-yard line, they then responded by blowing out then #1 Notre Dame to win their third BCS National Championship in four years . . . nearly four years to the day that they lost to Utah.

How about listing what Utah has done since they beat Bama.
