smokinandjokin Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Another huge difference - it was the first week of the season, not the last. 831768[/snapback] I get your point, it was early (actually week 2 as you know.) And we know the history of the BCS, it's always better to lose early rather than late. However, what if Michigan beats OSU? Then, assuming Notre Dame wins out, the Irish will only have one loss to the #1 team, which occurred in week 3. Do they deserve a rematch? No, they lost at home. Auburn only lost once to a highly rated Arkansas team, but it was at home. In my opinion, take care of the homefield if you are the National Champ. If there are a bunch of one-loss teams, I think Florida gets the nod over the rest because they come out of by far the toughest conference, and they will have only lost once- a very close game at Auburn (the 10-point margin of victory occurred with Florida trying a last gasp play at 0:00 down by 3, which was fumbled and returned for a TD.) Plus, they will have won a VERY difficult conference title game at a neutral site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its the timing of a Michigan - Ohio State rematch which turns me off to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I like the idea of an Ohio State - Team Up North rematch in Glendale, but I also believe that there would be a great hue and cry from all of the other deserving schools (and yes, I would include Rutgers now, but only if they run the table). So, I think it would probably be Ohio State - Florida, or possibly a third Buckeyes - Longhorns Winner Take All Rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their SOS should jump with the quality of their last four opponents, and if they win out, things could fall in their favor. They are 7th in computer avg right now, and Florida is 5th. Florida's SOS won't move much at the end of the reg season, but a big SEC final against Auburn or Arkansas should help them. I can imagine the horror in Idaho if Boise State goes undefeated but is left out, and USC plays in the title game, because BSU demolished Oregon State 42-14. If USC runs the table, OSU would be their one loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a lot fo florida this year, and the team just doesnt look that good. Their only loss (so far, until Nov 25th) was against a good auburn team, but in a lot of their games, they havent looked championship quality. I guess you could say that about a lot of teams, but florida just hasnt looked very spectacular this season. If they win out are they top 5? definitely. Top 2, Methinks otherwise.

Besides the one loss that all the teams will have, none of them have looked like champions in every game. Many of the top teams have looked flat out bad. FL has had the toughest schedule in the league this year. I don't like the BCS, and wish that a playoff system could be figured out, but how things are decided now I don't see another team that deserves it more than FL. As a FL fan I will flat out say that on their own merits they do not deserve to be playing for the championship. They just aren't good enough yet. But that doesn't mean I don't think that based on their SOS and how everyone else has played this year, that they don't deserve to be ranked number 2.

A team with a QB that looks that faggy doesnt dererve a shot at the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't judge strength of schedule based just off the win-loss record of the other teams. Most of the SEC's losses come against each other. Now, as I"m writing this FL may be making this discussion pointless. EDIT: Phew...thank god that monkey is off our backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about CBS Sportsline's, which has Florida 5, Michigan 14, Texas 16 in the country. Not a ton of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
