Urban Meyer says USC, Utah and Texas Should Vote Themselves #1

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP)—Florida coach Urban Meyer believes Utah, Texas and Southern California should fight for their teams to be recognized as national champions.

Meyer said at a news conference Wednesday that Utah’s Kyle Whittingham, Texas’ Mack Brown and USC’s Pete Carroll would be bad coaches if they didn’t lobby to be ranked No. 1.

Carroll has proclaimed his Trojans the best in the country. Whittingham and Brown have made it clear they will vote their teams No. 1 in the coaches’ poll regardless of what happens when the No. 1 Gators play No. 2 Oklahoma in the Bowl Championship Series national title game Thursday night.

Meyer did similar lobbying two years ago when he said his one-loss Gators should play in the BCS title game over Michigan.

Basically, Urban Meyer is saying that the BCS system is broke and that his squad could just as easily as USC, Texas and Utah be on the outside looking in.  There is not a bigger proponent for a playoff than straitpinkie.com and we applaud Meyer for his comments even though his team is being provided a shot at the title.  We also applaud Meyer for his hot daughter which we featured a couple months back.  To check out that story, click here.

Also, don’t forget to vote for either Boise State or Florida in the championship of the 2008 straitpinkie.com Playoff.  Voting ends tomorrow before the real game starts.  To do so click the link below.
