Will Louisville contend for the national title if OSU or Michigan lose a game?

First of all Michigan will be the team losing. Yeah Louisville will contend for the title and lose against Ohio State

Ain't gonna be a spankin on either side. OSU wins by 2. Look at it objectively and compare the 2 teams. Nobody has an edge at running back, receiver, defensive backs or line. OSU has the advantage at QB. Henne is good but Smith is great. If Henne has to start making plays UM is in deep trouble. Coaching goes to Tressel over Lloyd Cooper, er I mean Carr.

1st of all the loser of OSU and Mich. goes to the Rose Bowl. Not a bad deal for the loser. Of course, we (Buckeye's) want the National Title. OSU is No#1 they will stay #1, Smith will Win the Heisman. OSU has the largest Student Class. Over 60,000. They are #1 in this catagory rated in 2006. People Should join the Band wagon. It's a great school, in a great city, with great team, who has a great coach, and is backed by the Best Damn Band in the Land!  Tressel will be worshiped like Woody my friend.

I doubt it...I mean both teams probably deserve it...but with the way they rank teams...look what happened to West Virginia...#3....lost to #5 Louisville by misfortune...and drop to #10...that's a load of crap...USC lost to an unranked team and only fell to what...#8?

Ohio State will destroy Michigan!!!  By the time the Buckeyes are through with the "Big Boo Hoo", Rutgers will be number 2 in the polls!!  Buckeyes by three TD's.

Unfortunately I feel OSU will win. Just think they are more focused.\n\nI am a huge Michigan fan, always have been.

if usc beats notre dame tonight, that would drop michigan in bcs points a little because of their win over n.d. and if florida can beat the crap out of arkansas(?).  and usc loses to ucla next week,florida will be there. but all that is moot! the question is, do you want to be the team to get their skulls cracked by the buckeyes?

YES!  \n\nIf West Virginia had any time to shine, next season is it!  With the Big East as weak as it is, the toughest games will come from rival Maryland and new comers, that almost upset WVU last season in triple overtime, Louisville.  Not to mention Pitt is always a big game, so if WVU can overcome those games, there is no doubt in my mind they can run the table.  And if they do, they are definant Nat'l Champion contenders.\n\nMy Preseason top 5 are...\n\nOhio State\nWest Virginia\nOklahoma\nUSC\nTexas\n\n(forget Notre Dame! Most overrated program in America!)  \n\nPS, whoever said Boise State has no clue what they are talking about.  They lost their master mind head coach to the Colorado Buffs, they will have a down season this year compared to what they are used to having!

They have the ability to win it but I don't think they will. Ohio St. can be beat. USC could beat them, Notre Dame can beat them, that is if their defense shows up. Florida could win. Louisville coulda won if they stayed undefeated.

anybody who thinks we WON'T be nat'l champs is retarded. no way michigan can beat us this year...they just arent a better all-around team. ohio state is the most balanced team in the nation. We have a severly underrated running back next to the leading candidate of the Heisman race....Troy Smith. All season, ESPN analysts and coaches around the nation have announced Ohio State as the National Champs for this year.\n\nSo, to all Michigan fans....there is no way you'll beat us this year. Chad Henne is inconsistent, and here's an interesting statistic...Mario Manningham had ZERO catches last weekend. BALL STATE was able to keep your top receiver from catching anything. If Ball State can do that, then of course we can do it.

Why do you guys think that Michigan will get blown out if they play again? They lost buy 3 points when playing Ohio State in Ohio. I think the score will be about a 1 score difference like 28 to 24 Ohio State winning.

There's no trouble just a possible rematch with UM. Tressel is an excellent coach with a very talented team at his command. I predict another championship year for the Buckeyes no matter who they play in January.\n\nGO BUCKEYES !!!

If Florida wins the SEC title game, and USC loses, than Florida.  Michigan is the likely pick because of the dumb computer system, but honestly it wouldn't be fair.  It wouldn't prove anything especially if Ohio State happened to lose(which I doubt), and it definately wouldn't solve the problem of a true #2 team.  My hopes are on Florida, but in all likelyhood, if USC wins they will go, if USC loses, and Florida loses, than Michigan would probably get the vote.  \n\nGO BUCKS!!!!

it is possible, but incredibly stupid.  michigan had their chance, but they fell a little short.\n\nif michigan and ohio state have a rematch for the national championship, and if michigan wins, would it be fair to ohio state?  ohio state already beat michigan.  why should they have to beat them again?  if they have a rematch, it would have to be a two-out-of-three situation to really crown a winner (but we all know that can't happen)\n\ni believe michigan is truly the #2 team right now.  but if USC could win-out, they deserve a shot at the national championship.  the BCS is just too crazy of a system.

No Michigan lost to Ohio State they had their shot.  I for one don't want to see a rematch.  I would rather see USC vs OSU.  They should have there shot at beating OSU.  Since Michigan had lost the first time.

I think not.  Strength of schedule determines a great deal in the rankings.  Many are saying that the Big East isn't getting any respect and I tend to agree with that.  At any rate one of the "bigger" schools like Florida, Auburn, ND, schools with one loss will end up behind the winner of the OSU - Mich. game today.  Even if Rutgers runs the table I don't even think they will get a shot at the national championship.  Maybe a BCS bowl but that's about it.  Another reason why division 1A needs a playoff system.  Everyone else has them.
