The Am Law Daily has never been a big college football fan; we grew up in Connecticut, far from the big football powers and crazy alumni (college hoops is a different story).

Shurtleff is steamed because the University of Utah Utes are undefeated but have no chance at this year’s national title–in part because they belong to a conference (the Mountain West Conference) that does not receive an automatic bid to play in one of the four bowl games that make up the Bowl Championship Series.
