I think, frankly, the pollsters will do what they need to do to ensure no rematch. Just my hunch. I mean, Florida did just beat the #8 team in the nation by 10. Is that enough to jump Michigan? Probably not, if it wasn't the last regular season poll of the year.

Y'know, I agree, but the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if they'll keep Michigan up there so as to rev up the playoff talk again. Probably far-fetched, and by no means to be taken as a roundabout way of wanting Michigan in the title game, because I don't ever want a playoff.

Big 10 fans argue against a playoff because it might make the scUM/oSU game irrelevant.

Well, we don't have a playoff, and it looks like the OSU/scUM game is irrelevant anyway, so let's just the playoff started.

Not sure the pollsters are in favor of a playoff. I mean, sure, there are going to be some... but I don't know that a playoff is necessarily in favor with them (as opposed to the media, for example)

I guess we'll find out. :biggrin:

both schools get 16k seats. 85K stadium. 53K Season/PSL Ticket holders. tOSU has purchased at least 80% of the "open" tickets.
Homish game no doubt. Plus if it's mich they're afraid of us and if it's Fla they don't travel like us.

During the 3rd Quarter of the UF Ark game I was convinced that noone outside of scUM actually wanted to play us. The good news is by "scoring" 38 points UF may have fooled the Pollsters into thinking they have a good offense. And after watching the game I'm excited about the Tressel-Meyer match-up. He's not a very good game coach, that's for certain. I have been quite certain that out of three teams UF was the worst team. Nothing that happened today has changed that.

I have four nieces, whom I love dearly, who graduated from Gainesville... I hate to piss on their holidays, but business is business and while I still feel that Michigan is the second best team in the land, as they will prove by cleaning USCs clock in the Rose Bowl, I do believe that Florida will get the NC chance, otherwise the SEC will have a shit hemmorage.

Big 10 1, 2...On Wisconsin!!!

another question: do you think that tressel puked in his mouth a little when meyer opted for the fake punt from their own 15 with 6:33 to go in the 3rd quarter, being down only 21-17?!?

kudos for the chutzpah, urban... but you're an idiot.

I pretty much completely agree. Michigan is in a no-win situation in a rematch because of situations like this.

BUT....when people talk like this, it almost makes it sound like OSU fans were wishing they'd lost. I know no Buckeye fan in the world would trade the win for the notion that they don't have to win a double-elimination to win the title.

LOL, I was all excited that a Michigan Fan agreed with me until I got to the last paragraph. :P

No, I don't wish that we lost. I just find it unfair that we would have to beat Michigan twice for the National Championship. (Okay, yeah I have two girls and I play the fair/unfair game with them quite a bit. So sue me. :P )

While they get a rematch, and if they beat us, then they would get the National Championship.
