Beat Ohio St or Michigan on most given days??

If your answer is NO, then the BCS may be working if there is a re-match of this game for the national championship over an undefeated WVU/UL.

I think WVU could beat them -- if they played 10 times, UM or OSU would win 6-7 times, but WVU's running game matches up well with the Wolverines and Buckeyes.

U of L would need Michael Bush to challenge... and then they might win 2-3 times...

I see Florida as SEC champ or WVU as Big East champ getting the #2 slot ahead of the UM/OSU loser... given the weakness of the Big 10 this year.

The so called "Experts" disagree with you Jim, Sports reporters (espn show), Gameday guys (Corso, Herb, Fowler) all believe if the OSU/UM game is close that there is a strong possibility for a re-match for the national championship

They don't really know any more than I do... a lot will depend on the computer polls.  Florida winning out and beating Auburn or Arkansas in the SEC Championship will help the Gators.  If WVU is one of two undefeated BCS teams - it will be hard for the Harris and Coaches pollsters to vote a 1 loss Michigan team as #2... given that they are already #2...

If Michigan beats Ohio State, then maybe....

Does anyone know if this would be the first #1/#2 rematch in a national championship? Or would this be the first (if the "experts" are correct)?

The winner of the UL/WVU game will have their SOS go way up.

That is not really fair because BOTH UL and WV have a tougher ending schedule than those two teams so their numbers will improve.

Michigan plays

Ball State #115, @ Indiana #65, OSU #1

Ohio State plays

Illinois #83, @ NW #113, @ Mich #3

West Virginia plays

@ UL #9,Cincy #48,@ Pitt 27,USF 77,RU #11

Louisville plays

WV #9,@RU #11,USF #77,@ Pitt #27,UConn #79

we will wait to see what final #sos is?

THAT IS FAIR

when final #sos numbers are in we will see

you cant go by rankings.why dont you check the teams #sos

the #sos wont change much  for wv/ul because SOS for big east teams  isnt good

usf is #112 check pitt and ru's SOS and you will find it is way higher than their ranking

no mater how you cut it ul/wv rinky dink schedule doesnt make them worthy of being in national championship game

What? The strength of schedule is determined by the team's rank NOT by who that team has played. thus WV and UL will benefit from playing the teams in their schedules.

IF WV or UL goes undefeated you will see their SOS improve because they have played higher ranked teams.

By the way you will see USF's SOS of #112 end up higher after playing their last four games, THREE vs teams ranked in top 30
