Utah did not lose a single game. They made a mockery out of Alabama (a former no.1) and what do they have to show for it? A mediocore recruiting class and a Sugar Bowl trophy. Utah and the Boise State team of a few years back, could have been even greater stories if there was a college football playoff. Obviously momentum plays a huge role in sports and with a team that never lost a game, how can one say that they would not win the National Championship?

WEEK SIX COLLEGE FOOTBALL RANKINGS
25. GT (4-1)
Considering the fact that a 3-point loss in Blacksburg is the only blemish on its record, Georgia Tech deserves to be ranked in the top 25. In his first year in Atlanta, Paul Johnson is definitely exceeding expectations.

#1 Southern Cal? Chop, courtesy of Oregon State. In fact, before Utah's win last night, one had to go all the way back to November 15 of 2007 to find a higher-ranked school that survived the dreaded Thursday night game (#7 WVU beating Louisville 38-31). In last year’s football season, a higher ranked team lost 6 times on Thursdays. In 2006, 7 were upset. What are we to make of this scary trend? Does the shorter week and, thus, less prep time really play that large of a part in these matches? Do the underdogs play their hearts out because many of them know this will be the only time they’ll be on ESPN? Or, in the spirit of October, is Thursday night just cursed? Whatever the case, this is a trend that has reached a point where it can no longer be ignored. Want a BCS sleeper? Look for a team that sticks to Saturdays.
