If the Ohio State vs. Michigan game is close... should there be a bowl game rematch?

No they shouldn't whoever loses should moved down significantly a la Texas USC Cal Auburn Im a believer in second chances except in a situation like this when i believe if whoever loses lost thats it no national title game lets give some one else a try to take the number one team in the nation

I don't think that it should even be possible for a rematch this year. Because once you beat someone once, you shouldn't have to prove it again. But if there was a rematch between the 2 teams and Michigan won I guess you would have to call them the National Champs, but that shouldn't be able to happen. And they wouldn't be able to win if there was a rematch. OH            IO\n\nGO BENGALS

Thought the turf issue was equal for both teams myself, last year Mich got beat in Mich. In 2003 Mich beat OSU and OSU didn't cry.  So yeppers think they had their shot and need to get over it until next year and try it again.

to crazy you are wrong on the sugar bowl,,    they would play in the rose bowl if they lost to michigan,,\n\nwho ever wins this game between mich and ohio state, will go to national championship game,, loser will go to rose bowl,, michigan beat wisconsin and their big ten season is over ,, \n\nhard to say who would be the opponent,,but if ohio state wins the big ten and stays #1 and florida wins the Sec,, florida would move to #2 in the polls, and i think thats how the championship game would turn out to be \n\nohio st vs florida,, and if michigan wins,, it would be michigan vs florida !!! if florida doesnt win the sec,, then its a toss up,, !!!\n\ndont think theyd have a notre dame/ michigan rematch,, but if they did that would be cool,, if michigan wins,, michigan kicked their butts earlier in the year like 49-28 or something,,, \n\nyou definitely wont see boise st in there but thats a good thought\n\nthis is why div 1A college football needs a playoff system,,but probably never will,, its all dollar driven !!\n\nevery other level has a playoff system and seeds their teams and they do playoffs to decide the eventual champion,,\n\nthe NCAA will need to look into it because this BCS crap is becoming  useless and over complicated and is not working out at all

Even if USC loses to UCLA,  Michigan should get another shot at Ohio State because they are a better team than Florida , but if everything plays out like it should Florida might play Michigan in a Bowl Game and Florida will get spanked !!! Oh Well !! \n\n GO BUCKEYES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Ohio State Buckeyes will HAVE to play their BEST football yet this season in order to defeat meechigan woolveweenies today at Ohio Stadium. This game is the best rivalry game in all of college football. Rivalries are played with great heart determination, intense hatred, and the participating teams are so familiar with each other.\nI respect the success the vile team from up north has had with their program over the last hundred plus years. Yet, I will ALWAYS despise meechigan woolveweenies!!! \n\nThe Great Coach Woodward Hayes trained Bo Schembechler, and despite the fact that Bo turned to the dark side of the force, Bo utilized that training to turn meechigan around, and make Ohio State v. meechigan the greatest of ALL college football rivalries.\n\nRest in Peace, Mr. Schembechler, and may God grant the Schembechler Family some peace and comfort in their time of grief.\n\nP.S. Bo... Please say 'Hi!' to Woody for us?!!!!!\n\n\nGO BUCKEYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

most of the one-loss teams are good enough.  but who knows what the outcome will be.\n\nUSC, florida, notre dame, arkansas & west virginia would all give ohio state a pretty good game.  hell, maybe even wisconsin!

They sure do. I use to think they should have a 4 team playoff, where the final game would be played during the bye-week before the Superbowl. But in a year like this, how could you even pick 4 teams let alone 2? Ohio State is a clear #1. But deciding between Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame, USC, Arkansas, West Virginia, etc for the other 3 spots would be just as hard. It must go to an 8 team playoff. The disparity between 1 and 8 is great enough where teams sitting outside of the 8 selected teams wouldn't have much to gripe about. \n\nOnly two things are standing in the way: money (which could be resolved through a revenue sharing system) and time (remember these guys are students and need time for school).

Ideally, a tiebreaker between USC and Michigan would be interesting but definitely wouldn't happen.  In that case, I'd say OSU vs. USC.  This might sound harsh, but Michigan had their chance against Ohio State.  Yes, USC lost to Oregon State but didn't Michigan have some scares against Ball State and Penn State?  It's really tough to find an indisputable solution because OSU, Michigan and USC are all really good teams.

The rankings are on TV at about 4:15 on the Fox Post-Game Show.  They will be up on their website shortly after that.\nhttp://www.bcsfootball.org/bcsfootball/\n\nThere is a possibility of a championship Ohio State-Michigan matchup.  It would probably be easier for that to happen if Ohio State lost, not Michigan, because Ohio State's considered the better team.  It would also help more if teams like Florida, Texas, USC, Auburn and Notre Dame got second losses.  Texas will be the hardest one to get a second loss, but Ohio State would probably rank higher than them even if Texas stays a one-loss team.  Florida and Auburn are in the SEC and there's an SEC championship - so they could easily catch a loss there.  USC has to play Notre Dame and Cal, and Notre Dame plays USC.  I would fear that the SEC champion that's not Arkansas comes out with one loss and Michigan loses to Ohio State -- that would be the worse scenario.

Yes it would be great, and I think the Trojans aren't as good as the Wolverinenes. I still think they should rematch. Plus, it would be an outstanding game.

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 !!!

WHEN Ohio State beats Michigan . . .  No, Ohio State should not have to replay either Michigan or Texas for the national championship-been there done that.

Not after today.  They actually respected Bo as did most of the real OSU fans just like most of us real UM Alumni and fans respected Woody.  Tonight is their last concert as "Dead Schembechlers", they put "God Bless Bo" on the marquee, and all the profits from tonight's concert are going to a charity the Schembechler family names.\n\nThese guys understood what the rivalry really is.  It's about class, integrity, and everything that should be college football.  Don't judge Woody by his last game.  He and Bo were the universities and everything college football and the rivalry is about.\n\nThey'll be up there tomorrow cursing each other, wrestling, fighting...but relishing the game as the greatest game ever in the rivalry.  In the end, regardless of the outcome, they'll shake hands, embrace, have a few beers and look forward to the rematch in Glendale, AZ on January 8.

I live about 10 miles away and that's about as close as anyone not attending the game should get to campus right now. I work in the campus area, it's been nuts all week.\n\nGo Buckeyes, Beat those gulo gulos

If there had been a bowl playoff system, if would have been Auburn vs. Miami. \n\nIf there had been a BCS game a la its current organization, then it would have been Texas vs. Nebraska.\n\nAnother intriguiging possibility is Auburn and Georgia who had already played earlier n the season. .
