I hate league playoffs. I hate the idea that every year some scum bum B-ball team gets into the Big Dance because they lucked out a conference tournament. BUT one of the best NCAA title games ever had to be Michigan and Indiana back in 77 or there abouts.

My own personal choice would be to now turn to the BCS folks and say; we're number one. We beat two number twos. We're going to the Rose Bowl to play USC or Notre Dame or Florida. Fuck you very much.

Which is why I'm not AD.

Michigan's chance to get into the title game was last night. They failed to stake their claim.


A 1 loss UF, USC or Arkansas is just as deserving, and they will be conference champs.

The BCS made this bed, and they must lie in it.

edit: all comments about rutgers are null and void... I just came out of my Buckeye Shell and realized they lost yesterday....

Michigan still #2 in the BCS Standings.

Looks as if they are going to have to hope that USC and Florida lose one of their last two games to actually get the rematch......but i was suprised to see them still at #2.

I need someone to explain to me how a late season loss cannot result in a drop in the polls, because I really, really don't understand.

Look at how far Rutger's dropped on their first loss of the season and UM couldn't drop to at least #3? Makes absolutely no sense.

I don't think we should play UM again, but I think its pretty clear why UM didnt drop and why Rutgers did.

Rutgers lost to a team the polls said they should have killed, while UM barely lost to a team the polls said they should not have beaten.

I'd say the logic is pretty simple. You lose only one game all year, to the #1 team wire-to-wire, on their home turf.

I hate to admit it, but Michigan is by FAR the best team we played all year, and I think they are by far the second-best team in the land.

That said, we should have won by two touchdowns.

Agreed. If we play them again, we only have ourselves to blame. Frankly we should just feel lucky we won after losing the TO battle 0-3. Without those TOs, this game is a 14-17 point win. scUM played great but we helped them and we can't whine if the voters keep them #2.

Michigan No. 2, but not by much over USC

Michigan No. 2, but not by much over USCBy RALPH D. RUSSO, AP Sports Writer
November 19, 2006

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- For now, the BCS numbers add up to an Ohio State-Michigan rematch for the national championship. But Southern California could prevent that with two more victories.
Michigan was impressive enough in a 42-39 loss to the Buckeyes to retain second place in the Bowl Championship Series standings released Sunday, by a slim margin over USC.

"The pollsters had to be impressed with the way (Michigan) has played."
Michigan's BCS average was .926. The Trojans, who have two games left, were at .919.
"It'll be interesting to see how it comes out," Tressel told Fox television.
The No. 1 Buckeyes locked up a spot in the BCS title game Jan. 8 in Arizona with their victory over the Wolverines on Saturday, their 19th straight overall. They also became the first team to have a perfect score of 1.000 under the BCS formula introduced in 2004. Ohio State is a unanimous No. 1 in all the polls and the best team in the country according to the BCS computer ratings.
Florida was in fourth place in the BCS standings with an average of .884, followed by Notre Dame (.820), which plays at USC on Saturday. Arkansas (.807) was sixth. The Razorbacks and Gators meet in the Southeastern Conference title game on Dec. 2.
Michigan's regular season is complete, so the Wolverines can do nothing but watch what happens to USC and the other contenders over the next two weeks.
The Trojans, who beat Cal 23-9 on Saturday to lock up the Pac-10's automatic BCS bid, passed Michigan and moved up to No. 2 in both the coaches' poll and the Harris poll. The polls count for two-thirds of a team's BCS average. Michigan remained second in the computer ratings that account for the other third of the BCS average.
USC is third in the computers, a mark that should get a boost if the Trojans can knock off a highly rated Notre Dame team and crosstown rival UCLA the following week. It appears Michigan needs USC to lose to get another crack at Ohio State. But that could open an opportunity to the SEC champion if either the Gators or Razorbacks win their final two games. Unbeaten Boise State moved up to 11th place. With one more victory in their season finale at Nevada, the Broncos will become the second team from a conference without an automatic bid to reach the BCS.
