Default BCS Nat Title game Scenarios

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.
