The NCAA's Football Records Book has been updated to include the Utes as No. 1 in the final Anderson-Hester computer rankings, used in the formula for determining the contestants in the BCS national championship game in that era. Utah is mentioned below Florida, the BCS winner.
Utah (13-0) was ranked No. 2 in the final Associated Press poll after beating Alabama 31-17 in the Sugar Bowl. The Anderson-Hester rankings lifted the Utes from No. 2 after the regular season to No. 1 following the bowl games, including Florida’s 24-14 win over Oklahoma for the BCS title.
