BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted January 8, 2007 Had Michigan scored 4 more points against Ohio State, they would have matched up against Florida, a significantly weaker opponent that Michigan matches up against FAR better than the one they matched up against--Michigan would have beaten Florida the way USC beat Michigan. Also, Michigan would not have had the disadvantage of having to travel while their opponent does not. As for the going into the UM game with confidence thing....didn't Michigan State do that in 2005? Yeah, how did that game go? Or the ones before it? Even if MSU had beaten Notre Dame....Michigan would still have beaten them. Considering both our statements are speculation, yours are about as valid as mine. I just don't try to state them as fact. I always figured that teams that should win the national championship, don't finish 10-2, and lose in the bowl game where they are favored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted January 9, 2007 What's the deal with OSU committing a penalty on every kickoff? Only following the tracker so I can't call BS...but two 15-yard penalties on two kickoffs is pretty unusual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted January 9, 2007 Holy cow. Ted Ginn hasn't touched the ball once since the opening kickoff, and Troy Smith is 4 for 14 with a measly 35 yards passing. What happened to the OSU that put up 500 yards on Michigan? Why couldn't this OSU team have showed up against Michigan? Seriously.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jwo 7 Report post Posted January 9, 2007 great win by the gators. I knew they were the #2 team going in. Now they are the #1 team coming out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted January 9, 2007 great win by the gators. I knew they were the #2 team going in. Now they are the #1 team coming out! Florida deserves to be the champs, although I disagree that they were a top two team through the regular season. Certainly a great time for Florida to have what was easily their best game of the season; the night when OSU finally has an off night. So with that...here's my final top ten rankings: 1) Florida--Beat OSU...that's enough to get this spot. 2) Ohio State--Beat Michigan, lost only to Florida. 3) LSU--Solid run in tough conference, capped by dominating performance vs UND. 4) USC--Probably would be 1st or 2nd if not for two inexplicable losses to unranked teams. 5) Michigan--Would like them to be higher, but with losses to OSU and USC this is it. 6) Wisconsin--Unlike Florida, winning a tight game vs Ark does not move them ahead of UM. 7) Louisville--With a real schedule, they might be higher. 8) Boise State--Don't these guys only have like 2 losses in four years? 9) Oklahoma--Only three loss team in the nation that only lost two games. 10) Auburn--Beating Florida has to count for something.

Guest ZetterBurger40 Report post Posted January 9, 2007 Told you guys. Michigan fans should be ashamed for demanding another shot at OSU because they were "the only team that could beat them" or "the 2nd best team in the nation". The Big Ten was exposed tonight.

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted January 9, 2007 Told you guys. Michigan fans should be ashamed for demanding another shot at OSU because they were "the only team that could beat them" or "the 2nd best team in the nation". The Big Ten was exposed tonight. Michigan was the second best team in the nation in the regular season. The fact that both Michigan and OSU laid eggs in their bowls speaks more to this fact: Michigan and OSU showed the nation how to expose each other's vaunted defenses. Nobody Arkansas or Florida played during the season had the kind of impact of a Michigan or OSU. That disadvantage in scouting, combined with two extra weeks of rust, is more responsible for the Big Ten's bad week than anything. As for the Big Ten being exposed...Wisconsin and Penn State, Big Ten teams Michigan beat pretty handily, won against Arkansas and Tennessee respectively, two SEC teams Florida strugged with. Tonight was more about Florida's best game against the Buckeyes' worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonight was more about Florida's best game against the Buckeyes' worst. The SEC is a far-superior conference to the Big 10. I'm an MSU fan, so I'm no Big 10 hater, but the conference was a joke this year(including the Sparties), and it isn't the superpower that some fans around here think that it is. Also, PLEASE no more "well this team beat this team, and lost to that team"- if you wanted to play that card, UM lost to USC, which lost to Oregon St. That's dumb. Florida showed the nation what they're all about tonight, it was no fluke. Urban Meyer should be applauded for lobbying to get his team into the BCS title game, turns out they deserved it.
