LOOK AT THEIR SCHEDULES!!!!!!!!
Florida played in the SEC, a conference that every sports scribe and coach in the country said was the best conference in football this year by a wide margin. THEY WON THAT CONFERENCE. Michigan played in one of the weakest conferences in the country this year(of the Bowl coalition conferences), they played 4 good teams and lost one of them.
DO THE MATH
You people who keep saying Michigan deserved it over Florida are idiots.
well, not only that...but having a rematch solves absolutely nothing. there is not one good reason for a rematch, imo.
Fair enough. When Florida gets hammered in the NC game, does that change your opinion of how great the SEC is, or how undeserving Michigan was?
its like talking to a bunch of re s...:
1. florida is not going to get blown out
2. even if florida does get blown out, so what, ohio state is national champs then...as they should be. they will have already beaten michigan and then florida
...logic is sorely lacking in some on this forum.
I will take Florida and 10 pts in a wager. You want to make the bet?
Imagine how we feel.
...well to do that:
1. i'd have to become illogical
2. whine about michigan not being in the le game
3. and correspond with posters far more logical and intelligent than i
no thanks.
Exactly what I mean.
1. Other people with different opinions does not = illogical.
2. I don't think that Michigan should be in the le game, much less whine about it. I think Florida deserves to be there in the National le game. I just want the system changed.
3. You should already know how it feels like with respect to your # 3. But, being a Trojan fan, unfortunately, you're not logical or intelligent enough to realize that.
Thanks.
I'll take it at 9.5. What's the wager?
The system is seriously flawed. Michigan should have never stayed at #2 and Florida shouldn't have jumped them.
The process is ed up and will not change until we have four undefeated teams from BCS conferences.

I pretty much agree with your position on this.
One other illogical aspect of this: Michigan will probably finish #2 in all the polls if they win the Rose Bowl.
Reason being:
-if OSU wins, even if they just squeak by, and Michigan wins, UM will be #2
-if Florida wins and Michigan wins, then OSU will probably drop to #3 on the old adage that you're only as good as your last game. Not saying that's logical, but that's the usual history.
We can bet a Starbucks gift card....say $25?
That would be easy to send in the mail.
Kori knows me and knows that I am good for it...so I will not welch....hope you are honorable as well.
Deal?
Jim, did you ever notice that DisgruntledLionFan#54,927 has the letters "DUF"?
Huh? DUF?
BTW, anyone have $25 I could borrow?
thats just crazy enough to work.
if something that crazy happened i bet they would at least ins ute a special 1 time playoff
Whatever anyone believes, whatever everyone thinks what happened is right or wrong, the system came down to opinions, nothing more, nothing less. Until there is a system that uses opinions to formulate the best 8, or 12, or 16 teams in the country and then lets them play it out on the field, and not just picking the two supposed best, or most deserving, or justifiable teams. I am of the opinion that just becuase you won your conference le doesn't make you better than another team who finished second in theirs. You could LSU and Michigan to make that argument this season.
Another good thing a PO system would ins ute is when a team loses one or more key players in the RS and loses a game or two during that span. Today, they wouldn't have a chance playing in the NC game (or maybe not even a major BCS game) with two losses. Fully loaded, they could possibly stand a good chance in winning the NC (or other major bowl). Of course, the flip side to that is that if a PO system expands to 8+ teams, and you are undefeated going into your last 1-2 games, the incentive to win may not be as strong. Heck, even the coach may rest some of his starters, knowing his team is already PO bound.

Yeah, that is something to consider, but take for example OSU/Michigan, if the same thing happened like this year, but a playoff existed and both were all ready locks to make it, and both Tressell and Carr rested their key players, they would be crucified by the fans, media and former players for not giving all they had to game that means so much. I know not all games are going to be huge rivalry games with things to play for, but you don't see the good teams in the college basketball rest all their players toward the end of the season, plus you could put seeding and possible home field advantage on the line to make every game still count. I know there is going to be ing no matter way you do it, but it would be easier to hear it from the 9th or the 17th team than it would be to hear it from the 3rd.
SEC suddenly doesn't look so tough after today.
That was a fluke. The SEC is better than the NFL.
