It has to be UFvsOhio ST!!!

[Eric_Soncrant]

As much as I'd like to see the Wolverines in a rematch for the Nat'l Championship (since I'm originall from Michigan), I will say that they had their chance and that UF will play Ohio St for the title.  

I'd really hate to say it, but if it comes down to UF-Ohio State, I have to go UF because it comes down to what team I hate more, and the feeling belongs to Ohio St.

I'm in the same boat.  Honestly, if it became UF vs. OSU in the national championship game, I think the Rose Bowl will be one of the best bowl games with Michigan vs. USF.  But I can't see myself rooting for either OSF or UF.  Can they both lose?

That would be a heck of a bowl game, but I am thinking it will probably Michigan vs USC .

Michigan had their shot to beat Ohio State and lost. It's not fair to Ohio State to give Michigan another shot. Florida should get the chance to play Ohio State, especially seeing that they won their conference, while Michigan did not.

The argument could go both ways:

Michigan: Beat 2 ranked teams in ND and Wisconsin; Lost to the nuber 1 team by 3 at their place. Went 6-1 v. team going to bowl games. Margin of victory v. ND and Wisconsin was great. Looked good in most their wins, whereas Florida played close games.

Florida: Went 9-1 against bowl teams, beat Ranked teams in Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas (Georgia may be ranked this week). Only loss to a top 10 team at their place (Arkansas' loss should propel Auburn into top 10). Michigan played close games against Northwestern and Ball State; Florida played close games against teams going to bowls.

I don't know, I am sure as hell glad that I am not a voter today. If I did have to vote it would probably go to Florida, they played a harder schedule.

Here's a fun fact.

Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel is a voter in the Coaches' Poll.  Final Coaches' poll ballots (i.e. this week) will be made public.

Jim was quoted last night as saying he might not cast a ballot this week because he doesn't want to vote for either team and upset the other team.

Of course, Lloyd Carr (Michigan) has a vote... and so do former Florida coaches Ron Zook (Illinois) and Steve Spurrier (So Car).

It will be interesting to read how the coaches vote.

Haha, you think the Zooker will go for blood against florida?

Look, UF deserves the chance to play. It has been a long time since UF lost while Michigan basically just lost to Ohio St. If you have MICH play in this thing then the system is a joke. I know if USF were in UF's position that we all would be pissed off if we didnt get a chance. UF fans will have every reason to be pissed if they dont get the call.

All of these statements about Florida "deserving" a shot because Michigan "had their chance already" is ridiculous.  

Michigan is the second best team in the country, regardless of where they finished in the Big Ten.  

The two top teams in the country should play for the national championship.  

OSU will beat either team anyway, but the OSU/UM matchup would be a closer game than OSU/Florida.

On ESPN last night, Chris Fowler stated that the word out of Vegas would be that UM would be favored by a touchdown over UF on a neutral field.

One thing is for certain - GO BULLS!

[TheGooch]

... however, if UF got their chance to play OSU, who could argue with a USC/Michigan Rose Bowl.  That would be an entertaining game.

If OSU loses the national championship game, regardless of who they play, and Boise St. beats Oklahoma - give the title to Boise St, just to make a joke out of the whole **** system.

ummmm....UM will not be representing our school at all.  They are from the rust belt home of the unemployed.  That school and region has nothing to do with us.  At least UF is in the same state.  They represent FLorida football. The greatest football state in the country!

Screw Michigan and Ohio State!
