BCS Nat Title game Scenarios

[pmayjr]

This is of course opinionated, but after the OSU win earlier, this is how the Nat Championship should shake out in my eyes-

I have a Big Ten bias. I'm a Minnesota Gopher fan at heart. But I respect the other teams in the conference. And I believe Michigan and Ohio State are the best 2 teams in the nation. BUT! THEY SHOULD NOT REMATCH FOR THE NATIONAL TITLE UNLESS 1 THING HAPPENS.

Why? Because say they do have a rematch for the National Title, and Michigan wins. It totally devalues game one. Beyond being a game with 2 pretty much equally matched opponents, that sucks all the significance out of game 1 (If Michigan were to win the title game)

As for USC. If they win out, they should be in. They might not be the best of the 1-loss teams, but they deserve it more than Arkansas, because they beat Arkansas head to head.

For Florida- If they win the SEC Championship, you can make an argument for them to be in the BCS title game. But it keeps sounding like USC will have the edge over them in the computer rankings if USC wins out.

For Arkansas- Even if they win the SEC Championship, they don't deserve to play for the National Championship unless USC loses. Because USC killed Arkansas at Ark week 1 this year. So even if USC loses, I'd rather see Rutgers (if Rutgers runs the table). But I'd rather see Arkansas than Notre Dame.

For Rutgers- Of course they need to win tonight and then at West Virginia next week. Not only do they have to beat West Virigina, they need to beat them convincingly to make peoples' head turn enough to give these guys a look. There's too many pundits that will never let this Nat Championship scenario happen. But if they go into Morgantown and win by like 10, then people need to seriously consider them.

Louisville and West Virginia. If West Virigina spoils the Rutgers party next week (which I think will happen), both them and Louisville I don't think deserve it. Nice seasons for the top 3 Big East teams, but from top to bottom the conference is still weaker than the other major conferences IMO.

For Notre Dame. If they beat USC next week. I DON'T WANT THEM IN THE NATIONAL TITLE. Then I would wanna see a Michigan and OSU rematch. Michigan whooped Notre Dame at Notre Dame. So it would be a crime if Notre Dame played OSU in the National Championship over Michigan. SO IF NOTRE DAME IS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT- It'll be a crime to let them play in that game over Michigan. An absoulte crime.

I guess in the end- all scenarios considered- I'd like to see OSU and Florida. Florida had their one hiccup against a damn good Auburn team, in by far the best conference in college football. Reward them for that if they win the SEC Championship. It might not pit the best 2 teams, because as I said, the best 2 teams are Michigan and Ohio State IMO, but you can't devalue game 1 between the 2 if Michigan wins game 2. Not unless they played a 3rd to decide it lol.

USC better get on the stick real fast or that game next week won't mean a damn thing.
To me it doesn't anyway. I really don't see how any computer or person couldn't conclude that Ohio St and Michigan are the two best and should meet in the big game. The fact that Notre Dame(of whom I am a huge fan) is even being mentioned as having a chance is pretty funny. How exactly do you justify putting ND in ahead of a team who beat them to death on their home field?
As far as USC goes, I don't care if they win out or not, their loss was against a non ranked team and there isnt any way that equates to better than Michigan's one loss at Ohio St.
Rutgers is self destructing tonight, Louisville and W VA lost to inferior teams that Mich did. Whose that leave? I guess folks could try and make a case for either Fla or Ark if they win the SEC with one loss, but neither teams loss equates to as "good a loss" as Mich's does.
This thing should be over and done and decided. Mich and Ohio St in a rematch on a neutral field for the whole thing.

As I said, I believe Mich and OSU are the best 2 teams. But you seriously gotta ask yourself- what justice does that do for game 1 if they play game 2, and Michigan wins?

Dude there is precdence for this. Fla St beat Florida at home one year and then they met in the deciding game and Florida kicked em up and down the field.
All anyone talked about was how much beter Fla obviously was.
You are acting as if the home field equation with its benefits is the same as a bowl game, its not.
The best two teams should meet.

BOISE STATE vs. OSU on the Blue field for undefeated bragging rights

Of all the teams I have seen, the best team as a total package I have seen is on TV is LSU. And they stink tonight. I have seen no team with the same talent on both sides of the ball at this point in the season. But because they are inconsistent... my assertion does not mean a whole heck of a lot but I thought I would throw it in anyway.

Michigan had Ohio St. try and give them the game with those turnovers. Michigan did not come close to stopping them.

Best job done by a coach this year, Bob Stoops without Adrian Peterson, his starting QB, favorite receiver and a very young offensive line. This is your best coach in college football. Still. Even with his overconfident big loss bowl teams.
