    How about the importance of a national championship game on a neutral field anyone? That could be a 3 point difference

  2. Suzie Says:

    OMG something is going to happen!!!!!call back when they actually say something.

  3. Jakki Says:

    My question is what if Michigan barely wins, or wins from a bad call? You could argue that Ohio State and Michigan should share the title or that Ohio state is still #1.

  4. Graham Says:

    If OSU and Michigan rematch in the “championship game” then it will just add more fuel to the fire that the BCS is a joke.

  5. Kaitlin Says:

    I dont know what all of you guys who aren’t wishing for a rematch are smoking on?! are you serious. If this had not happened to be THE biggest rivalry game, it probably wouldn’t be a discussion for #1 and #2. if the top two teams are 1 and 2, that is what many people expect anyway. BCS for once might deliver what the people want to see. Also, If a team hasn’t proven throught the whole season they are worth the one and two spot then they dont deserve to play in the champioinship.. PERIOD. and for the record I AM a michigan fan, but I have only been so since attending college the last 3 years. and i’m not all into, but fully respect the rivalry. So i’m as neutral as you can get as far as being a fan. I think Troy, of course, deserves the heismann… but IF OHIO was as good as everyone claimed, then there was no way UofM should have been able to make those come backs– to Y2JCrisis… I agree with MARKH100, those conditions were brutal.. you dont think rain was the only reason for changing that field 3 weeks before the match up do you.. duh.. but i wont get into that.. the field alone without the mistakes on BOTH side was enough for a reamatch, there were 2 plays where Hart and Breaston were wide open charging for touch downs.. and the field GAVE out on them..ARE you kidding me?! TRoy even slipped a few and got sacked because of it. And for those who doubt MI, they did fight hard… the defense was down form its normal swagger, but so was ohio’s!! those teams were/ ARE the two closest matched teams, and the rivalry, the fans, and the fight for the NAtional Championship deserves a rematch between the two– on neutral growns.

    @ LilGator “Bull … there wasn’t a moment in this game where anyone thought Michigan had it. OSU was in complete control the whole time…”If you honestly believe that I feel sorry for you. Thats like saying Stanford had complete control of the game versus Cal back on November 20th in 1982. Or that Northwestern had complete control of their game earlier this season against Michigan State up 27 points. Simple fact is there is no sure thing in football. If Michigan had won would it still be closer than it looked? Of course not.Simple fact is, change a few things on both sides of the ball and its different game. If that ticky tack personal foul wasn’t called who knows what would have happened. Or if OSU hadn’t of turned the ball over so much what would have happened. It was a great close game and the fact that you think its even possible for a situation to come about where any game was “closer than it looked” is preposterous. It looked close because it was close there is no such thing as a game “looking” close. Think about it.

  7. Jennifer Says:

    i was coming in to call BS as well…

  8. Rikki Says:

    “If that ticky tack personal foul wasn’t called…”You want ticky-tack, look at the calls the officials had to call to keep Michigan in the game. Two of Michigan’s TD’s were on drives that were 3rd and long or 4th and long that Michigan couldn’t complete, so officials called VERY ticky-tack pass interference calls on Ohio State just to keep Michigan in the game. Heck the biggest instance of pass interference in the game was on the interception that Troy Smith threw. The officials did exactly what ABC wanted, kept the game close. If you think Ohio State benefited from it, THINK AGAIN!

  9. Jocosa Says:

    Not to add fuel to the fire but sorry to say it. Just because Michigan beat Notre Dame at the beginning of the year. Brady Quinn played like shit that game and it was a lot closer than the score showed. Now hes playing like the heisman trophy winner he will be. Sorry to say it Michigan fans but….If ND beats USC this weekend then THEY WILL play for the national championship.

  10. Ollie Says:

    I’m conflicted on the whole idea of a rematch, for the same reason I don’t want a playoff system. Takes away from the regular season. Michigan and OSU played a great game, with Michigan losing by three. (I’m a Michigan fan) Fantastic game that could have swung the other way just with a few bounces. If Crable doesn’t make that bonehead hit, you tell me Michigan doesn’t drive and score. Yeah, it could also have swung the other way for a OSU blowout but it didn’t. Point is the #1 vs. #2 game was played and Michigan barely lost. So you could make the argument that, Michigan had its chance and they didn’t win. Rose Bowl. (still a great year)On the other hand you can say that about any team in the hunt:1 USC: Top contenders for the spot. Barely lost to unranked Oregon State but did it in valiant fashion almost coming back from 23 points down in the bottom of the third quarter. Since then are playing a great schedule of Oregon (W), Cal(W), ND(?) and UCLA(?). The last three being rivalry matchups. Deserve a shot if they win out based on quality of wins lately.2 Michigan: Second in line if Trojans slip up. Dominated Notre Dame on the road. Beat Penn State in Happy Valley in a night rivalry game. Beat Wisconsin soundly at home. Businesslike wins throughout their weak parts of their schedule including rivals MSU and Minnesota. Unimpressive against Ball State, but they did bring in backups too early. Only loss came at Ohio State. Lost by three in hostile crowd. Bad field condition caused slipping. Troy Smith played fantastically stretching the defense wide causing them to give up those big runs up the middle. Deserves to be in if USC loses and the bottom teams do not dazzle. 3 (tie) Florida: Big wins in the SEC using a decent defense and a dynamic offense. Only loss came at Auburn but they were beaten soundly. Also came incredibly close to losing to South Carolina. Needed blocked field goal for the win. Unimpressive against Vandy and Tennessee. Scheduled a 1AA at the end of the season. Deserves to jump Michigan with USC loss and strong (7+ pts.) wins against rival FSU and Arakansas. 3 (tie) Arkansas: Crushed early by USC. Drubbed completely at home in a huge nonconference game. Unimpressive wins against Vandy and Alabama. Huge wins against Tennessee and Auburn. Likewis deserves to jump Michigan with USC loss and strong (7+ pts.) wins against strong LSU and Florida. 5: Notre Dame: Doesn’t deserve in. Crushed by Michigan early. Haven’t been tested at all. Rivalry game with USC only real game on the bottom half the schedule. Needed miracle wins against very mediocre MSU and UCLA.6. Boise State: Doesn’t deserve in. Another pretender. Unlike ND doesn’t play anyone period. Will get exposed if they are let into a BCS bowl game. Need to schedule at least a few quality opponents to start conversation.And that’s every team that is in the conversation. Like I said, USC if they win out regardless of scores. Arkansas or Florida if either wins out AND wins solidly in both games. By a touchdown that was scored early in the fourth quarter with no controversy. Finally my boys in blue if neither scenario happens. Remember the championship game isn’t supposed to be what’s fair or what matchup you want to see. It should be the best team in the country playing the second best team in the country. Period
