Repulsive is the idea of a rematch of two Big Ten teams in the BCS title game.
Most people outside of Michigan don't believe that they are the number 2 team. I think that if you don't win your conference, you shouldn't be eligible for the national championship. Basketball is different because they have a playoff system. Football is not.
Oh, and since Michigan beat Ball State by 8, I think that means, they suck. And what is with Wisconsin being in the top 10? Who have they beaten? Oh yeah, nobody.
Oh, and without the playoff system, then you have that random chance of losing in the regular season and it hurting you. The only reason Michigan is ranked so highly is because they started out ranked highly.

This rule really does need to be added into the equation if we can't evolve into a playoff system or at the very least a +1 bowl game. BCS stands for Bowl Championship Series. If you can't even win your own conference then I have no desire to watch you play in the National Championship game. This little rule would have also avoided the 2003 debacle where everyone in the world knew USC and LSU should be playing for the title and Oklahoma wastes everyone's time in the championship game after losing the Big 12 title to Kansas State.
I disagree. What counts is that you win your games. By that logic, Clemson only beat a very bad North Carolina State team by 6....do they suck too?
More interesting, check out the Sagarin Computer Strength of Schedule Numbers (which are used by the computer to figure out the top 10 above):
1 Stanford (PAC10)
2 USC (PAC10)
3 UCLA (PAC10)
4 Arizona (PAC10)
5 Washington (PAC10)
6 California (PAC10)
7 Oregon (PAC10)
8 Washington State (PAC10)
9 Arizona State (PAC10)
10 Oregon State (PAC10)
13 Michigan
19 Florida
38 Ohio State
So, um, we're using a computer that thinks the Pac-10 is the toughest conference, by far. I think we can all agree that is silly. Really silly. Laughable.
Bring on the playoffs.
Laughable? Hardly. First, on a side note, I believe the SEC was a good part of the reason we got into this whole BCS thing, and there will never be a playoff system because that is just silly. Lets just start giving college football players $50,000 jobs to wash cars (Oklahoma) and call it the pros. The fact of the matter is when you play in the toughest conference in the nation, like USC does, losses happen. Just because people in the south have already had their half rack of Natural Ice by the time PAC teams start playing doesn't mean there isn't real football out here. I'm not saying we are going to always have the "best" team in the nation, but we don't have a bunch of weak asses in the conference that turn a game week into a bye week (excepting Stanford, of course, but hey, those guys are real smart).
Yes, over the last 4 games we did suck. But that is irrelevant.
Nobody is arguing that Clemson is or should be number 2. Nobody is saying that due to strength of schedule we had a harder road.
Attendance doesn't matter at any game. People go if they want, choosing teams over tickets sold instead of because they deserve to be there is why Notre Dame gets a BCS free ride every year, even though they haven't beaten a ranked team this year, and have lost their last 8 bowls.1. They play a lot of those games and home, and 2. When is the last time attendence mattered at one of those games?
Actually, lots of people do. That is why there is a debate. Apparently you don't, and since plural of anecdote is fact, that is what you are going on.Thats why. Sure it is technically feasible, but really, nobody wants that just so they can crown one champion.
Yeah, but when was the last time there was a basketball co-champion? They even added a play in game, and that still doesn't make any difference.People would still complain about that too "we didn't get seeded correctly" and all of the other crap that comes with it.
I would argue that Michigain actually has as tough a schedule as Florida, and nearly beat OSU. The rankings make no sense, but everyone can see for themselves that Michigan is the better team. Florida has a bag full of ugly a$$ wins! Michigan dominated the field, including beating Iowa when they were ranked, Wisconsin who ended their Big Ten season 11-1! I seem to remember a little field goal block and a gift from God that allowed Florida to even be in this discussion. That is not a way to earn a BCS bid. The SEC is not the conference it usually is this year. I hope they get left out, as otherwise the Rose Bowl will be about as boring as an average Superbowl.
Hey, where did all the Michigan fans go?
buckeyes gonna roll on whoever they play anyhow!
never would've thought we'd **** the bed like that....ouch! gators earned it. congrats (begrudgingly, of course)
Hey, where did all the Michigan fans go?
Winning with someone else's recruits is like having sex with her using the other guy's equipment.
I hate BSU, but that is an unfair statement, he (Chris Peterson) was an in house hire and has been at BSU for the last 5 or 6 years as an offensive coordinator.
No time for much comment but all I have to say is.... GO GATORS!!!!!
ORANGE!!!! ........
