Florida Or Michigan??

USC has been beaten which totally pleases me.

Nothing against USC, but I want this BCS thing a mess.  I need it.  Last year, I was disappointed that everything worked out well.  It happens.  There is a saying about the sun shining and a dog that describes it.  Not this year. 

If anything, this year proves you need the playoff for a myriad of reasons.  The fact that we must wait for a computer to spit out who is the #2 team in the nation feels so great!!  I mean, why not have a computer determine our Super Bowl teams??  If it did, there would be no great Steelers playoff run.  Or if a computer spit out or World Series match ups???  I guarantee the St Louis Cardinals wouldn't have been there. 

So who does deserve to play Ohio State in the BCS National Championship Game???

Florida.

Or Michigan?

If I had a vote, I'd vote for Florida for several reasons.

CONFERENCE CHAMPS:  First off, Florida has won something already.  The Florida Gators are the Southeastern Conference Champions.  Michigan has won nothing. 

MICHIGAN HAD IT'S CHANCE:  I'm not dead set against rematches...but not this one.  These two teams just met with Ohio State barely winning.  A rematch makes no sense because it really isn't fair.  Is it fair that Ohio State has to beat Michigan twice while Michigan must beat the Buckeyes just once to win the title???  If Florida and Michigan are that close for that chance....why not let the team that didn't get a chance to play OSU??

THE SKED:  Who has Michigan beat??  Wisconsin and Notre Dame.  And neither of those two schools has beaten anyone.  Florida has had to beat Tennessee, LSU and Arkansas and navigated thru one of the toughest schedules in the country.  Also, the Gators beat nine schools that will be in bowl games.  Michigan beat just six.  Michigan beat 5 teams who had losing records.  Florida played and beat just two. 

RIVALRY KILLER:  I read somewhere that the worst thing that could happen between Duke and North Carolina in basketball is if they ever met in the tournament.  In such a bloody rivalry, that event would mean someone would have the ultimate trump card.  Same thing applies to Michigan-Ohio State.  Yeah, that game would be huge for that rivalry.  But whomever wins will forever have the "yeah, but....." on their side. 

WE'D GET A GREAT ROSE BOWL:  The Grandaddy of Them All Bowl will feature Michigan and USC doing battle.  What a great match up since both teams were right there in the running for the National Championship game.  Seeing this game would be a great appetizer for the BCS Bowl.
