BCS rankings aside, who do you think Ohio State should play in the national championship game?
968794
FLORIDA or USC\n\nFlorida deserves it because coming out of the SEC with one loss and that one loss being a very biased game, they deserve it the most out of all of the teams\n\nUSC will probably get into the game because they have played Cal and Notre Dame(wow(sarcasm))and they have had so much national attention the past few years with Reggie Bush, Carson Palmer, and of course, Matt Leinart; and because .........they are USC\n\nP.S. Michigan already had their chance at Ohio State, it would be, quote "unfair" to Ohio State if they lost the second matchup, because the series would be tied 1-1. If you can't beat Ohio State, one of the best offenses in the nation, when you force three(3) turnovers, and set yourselves up in good position to win the game, what makes you think you'd be able to beat them a second time; when you know Troy Smith and the Buckeyes won't turn the ball over three(3) again

Ohio State\n\nLots of these Michigan fans are saying how they have a bunch of offenssive and defensive weapons...but they're forgetting that OSU has a stacked offense and a defense with numbers better than last year. Don't get me wrong, michigan is a real good team with an excellent defense but Ohio State has so many offensive weapons that michigan wont be able to cover them all. Ohio State has 2 solid running backs, and 4 solid recievers! and then the fact that Troy Smit h can do it all. The defense will be able to hold up pretty well against the michigan offense. They know how to create turnovers and the offense knows how to turn them into points. This year, Ohio State has 21 interceptions! and allow less than 8 points per game. \nI think this will be a fairly close game but with all the offensive weapons and having home field advantage...i think the Buckeyes will come through with a victory

The Answer lies within!\n\nThe BCS determines who plays for the championship. It only determines who the best 2 teams are. It doesn't take into account who has played who already this year! \n\nI am a Michigan fan, and I would like to see them win the National Championship, but I will say this:\n\n"It cannot work out"\n\nIf Michigan rematches and wins, then they are champions? How? They split, it sounds like game 3 to me, you cannot crown Michigan because they won the right game!\n\nBCS says the 2 best teams will play, I challenge you to give me a better team than Michigan not named Ohio State!\n\nNotre Dame is a no! USC I am not impressed with, but if they win out they deserve a shot! If Arkansas or Florida win out (they play each other 12-2) they deserve a shot also.\n\nIt comes down to this whether they win the Championship or not Ohio State is the best team in the country! It hurts to say it, but it is true.

First of all worst question I have ever read. Second of all, Florida can't beat W. Virginia, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Auburn, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, and deffinatley not Michigan.  Troy Smith will win the Heisman, Michigan will play W. Virginia in the National Championship, and Michigan's Defence will keep that quarterback of theirs, from running like he has all season, and Florida isn't gunna do shit

Great conference, great teams. my guess is Michigan 24 Ohio State 27 or 28. Trust me, close game no blowout

Oklahoma should stick in the top 25 all season, provided they don't make any mistakes and blow a game they're not supposed to. They should do well and end up in a BCS Bowl game. But I don't think they'll reach the championship bowl game.\n\nPreseason Top 5:\n1.Texas Longhorns\n2.Penn State Nittany Lions\n3.Ohio State Buckeyes\n4.West Virginia Mountaineers\n5.USC Trojans

I would not watch it if Ohio State Played Michigan again, Michigan lost, give someone else a shot.  If there was a rematch though Ohio State would dominate it. A possible match would be Ohio State vs USC or Ohio State vs Florida. These teams would have to run the table though and if Norte Dame beat USC look out the BCS is going to be in controversy. (although it allready is) No Rematch between OSU and Michigan.

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that it should be the osu michigan rematch for the BCS title game..... The loser will be a one loss team that has only lost to the number one team in the nation.....

I agree there should be no rematch between Michigan and OSU.  We left Columbus as the #2 team, having worked our way up through the ranks from the #12 spot.  It's amazing we came as far as we did.  We'll see Ohio State again back at The Big House same time next year.  The GREATEST rivalry of college football.  Cheers to OSU and cheers to Michigan!

OHIO STATE all the way this Saturday!!\n\nRemember, Michigan has to come to the "Shoe" this year.  Ohio State is awfully hard to beat at home.  So they have the edge this year.

I see them real high. I would love to see them play the Ohio state/ Michigan winner for the National championship

Ohio State will be left standing...  ...but...\n\nMichigan, if they get another shot at Ohio State, otherwise Ohio State.  I think they are indeed the best and second best teams.  I say to those that say USC, you shouldn’t have lost to Oregon State, and those that say Florida, you shouldn’t have lost to Auburn.  You have to offer some respect to Michigan for losing to the #1 team in the country, on their home field by only 3 points.  Considering how they fought back, I think they’d beat the Buckeyes on a neutral field.\n\nHowever, I think it will end up being Ohio State, because after USC wins out, I think it will be fresh in people’s heads and they’ll be #2.  If Florida or Arkansas finish with one loss, I know it was the first game of the season, but I’m a firm believer of the transitive property, and the fact that USC beat Arkansas (badly) gives the nod to USC over Arkansas or anyone from the SEC.  I don’t buy the SEC media problem that Jerry referenced.  If there was an undefeated team coming out of the SEC this year, they’d be #1 or #2, and no one would argue it.  If Notre Dame is to knock off USC, then I’ll give the nod to Florida, if they win out.  If it’s Arkansas, I'd give the nod to ND due to that transitive property, again.  I feel strongly that anyone with 2 losses can’t even be considered.  Sorry LSU fans.\n\nSo here’s the way I see it and a BCS scenario with results.  Let’s see what happens.\nOSU is in, and USC can control its own destiny.  Florida, Michigan, & Notre Dame are other possibilities, but need some help.  Everyone else is screwed.  Sorry Arkansas & Wisconsin (which is my team)\n\nSo, if OSU beats USC for the national championship…\n…BCS #2: Michigan over Florida (finish with one loss going in)…\n…BCS #3: Texas over Notre Dame (two losses each going in)…\n…BCS #4: West Virginia over Georgia Tech …\nLeaving Wisconsin and Arkansas left out.  Yikes, might they play each other then.  To appease the SEC argument, we’ll say Arkansas wins that game, and then rank them:\n#1 OSU, #2 Michigan, #3 USC, #4 Texas, #5 Florida, #6 Arkansas, #7 West Viginia…\n\nRight or Wrong, it makes for a fun debate.\nOn Wisconsin!!!

Florida Gators vs. Ohio State . After 11-1 in SEC they deserve a shot

ohio state/michigan winner vs a one-loss SEC champion or an undefeated Rutgers.\n\nmy prediction, ohio state will meat Michigan and go to BCS title game.\n\nFlorida will beat Arkansas in the SEC title and get the other slot.\n\nRutgers will go undefeated but get screwed out of the BCS title game, but they will still go to a major bowl and win.\n\nMichigan will go to the rose bowl and play Southern Cal.
