Why wouldn't Michigan deserve another shot?

No!!  You have to look at it from OSU point of view.  What would be the point?  If they played again and Michigan won all that does is show that each team won a game a piece.  To me that means a co-national championship.  Personally I think Florida is a better team than Michigan but we may never know how good.  This is why division 1A needs a playoff system.  Once and for all put a 16 team tournament together and play for the real national championship.

If you think of it though...look at when they lost.  If you lose later in the season you dont have a chance to get your confidence back.  If you end your season on a bad note you dont have a chance to prove yourself after a loss.  Michigan already got a shot at OSU and they lost.  Its not  USCs fault that they dont have a tough schedule.  They had to play Cal. and NotreDame who are both ranked teams.  Michigan didnt have a very tough schedule themselves except for the game against OSU.

Actually, I think Auburn hasn't really reached its full potential. Suddenly that team is attracting skill positions from all over the country, when formerly their stomping grounds were Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. \n\nThis year, I think they were down chiefly because a lot of A-Level talent left there in 2004 and 2005. However, in 2006, Auburn redshirted 20 out of 22 freshmen and sophomores and still won 10 games. If that's not coaching, nothing is. \n\nSo I would counsel patience, because the next several years should be something special for the Auburn Tigers.

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.

Compare their schedule with some other teams ahead of them with one loss and he has a legit complaint.  They should be 4th in the country with only Michigan, OSU, and USC ahead of them.

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.

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.

Not unless the game is tight all the way through and Michigan barely ekes out a win. I can more easily see the reverse, especially since the game is at Ohio State. If Michigan loses, but plays the whole way through and is competitive through the whole game, there is a chance they will meet again.\n\nI think a lot is going to have to happen for Louisville to be in championship. Yes, they haven't lost a game, but their schedule could have been better. I mean, Middle Tennessee State isn't really a quality win. I'm not sure one of these Big East team can really play with the Big Ten right now. Louisville's defense doesn't look fantastic. They are a well coached team though and I won't put anything past them.

I answer this question with caution, since I had given my opinion to a question earlier regarding USC, and I think that Yahoo is a USC fan.\n\nIn my totally biased opinion, I think that Ohio State and Michigan should be playing for the national title. You say, 'why should they play again, they already played?' I say that the two best teams in the country should play for the national title every year, and Ohio State and Michigan are the two best teams in the country this year, regardless of their rankings; BCS, AP, Harris,etc.....\n\nTexas has lost, twice...Auburn has lost, twice...Florida has lost, to Auburn...USC has lost, to Oregon State (very unranked)....Arkansas has lost, twice, to USC ( B I G ) and to LSU..... ND has lost very........ V E R Y...... B I G to Michigan.....in South Bend ( that's where Notre Dame plays )....Rutgers, West Virginia, Louisville and Boise State .....I shouldn't even have to mention......\n\nBottom line, Michigan lost to Ohio State, who has been # 1 all year (including the preseason) at OSU, by 3 points.....if that doesn't merit a rematch ( on a neutral field ), then you are a fan whose team is trying to get into the national title game, or, you just don't want to see the best two teams play for the national title.\n\n\nI won't fault anyone, ever, for being a fan of their team, I never have. If you have a favorite team you should defend them, always, but, if your team isn't one of the two best teams in the country, then you should be happy that the two best teams in the country are playing for the national title.....\n\nPLEASE, don't root (or RANK) against a team just because you don't like them. As fan of college football you should always want to see the two best teams in the country play for the national title, each, and every year. That is what the BCS was created for, to end the arguing amongst all fans throughout the country, and crown a true national champion.

USC does not deserve a higher ranking. Michigan's one loss was to the number one team. USC had a loss to Oregon State, which is an 8-4 team that is not in the top 25. Therefore, USC should not have a higher ranking.\n\nBTW, I am not a fan of Michigan, USC, Oregon State, or Ohio State. It is just a matter of simple fairness.

Anybody can make a case but we can make the best case\n\nMichigan lost to the number 1 team in country on the road by 3 points.\n\nUSC lost to an unranked team!\n\nNotre Dame....well we crushed them at south bend\n\nArkasnas is too far back in the BCS rankings\n\nFlorida is the only team I can see that should be there other than Michigan. They beat to Auburn which was undeafeted at the moment.But I'm sure that if you put up Michigan vs. Florida.\nWell you know who wins

I don't think so; it would be pretty hard to believe that a team good enough to make the top 25 didn't get one of the 34 at-large bids(if they didn't win their conference tourney).

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.

Absolutely!! so they give other teams a chance for once.\n\nWhy does alot of people hate the pistons? \n\nThese guys are great. They just got a little tired and overworked. But they will learn from their mistakes done this year and bring the title home to Detroit again next year.

First of all, I am a Maize and Blue fan through and through. Secondly I am not in favor of rematches in college football. Especially when it is Michigan-OhioState. This is the greatest rivalry in college sports and playing once a year is part of the charm . That being said however, the BCS is designed to match the two best teams in college football against each other in the National Championship game. And right now, til one of the schools with one loss who are still playing steps up and wins out and impresses the pollsters enough to vault ahead of Michigan, my beloved Wolverines are #2. It may be a flawed system that calls for a rematch but right now, it is the only one we have. and if that happens, so be it. Bring on the Buckeyes....Go Blue!

I think they can make a run and win the Big Ten.  But none of the Big Ten is all that good.  I'd say the Sweet Sixteen at most in the tourney for them.
