Utah fans have been mass e-mailing AP voters, urging us to put the Utes, the nation's only unbeaten team, No. 1 in the final Top 25.

I've received no less than 100 e-mails from the Ute faithful, not to mention a Facebook wall post from a Ute alum.

According to Pollspeak, no one ranked Utah higher than I did (No. 5) in the final regular-season poll. I was already a hero to Utes everywhere for having them in front of BYU in the preseason poll.
