I think it's possible, I just don't think it's that likely. I think that if Michigan beats tO$U in Columbus, it will be by a moderately wide margin. The Luckeyes would win a close game, IMO.

I just don't understand this logic. It's almost certain to be a close game... If Michigan wins it's going to be by a wide margin? Ummm why? Because if it's close it may hurt UL's chances?

No, because I think a close game will be won by tO$U. It's not that radical a concept, since tO$U is the home team. And I think that if Michigan wins, it will be by 10-14 points. Not a blow out, but not a nailbiter.

If Michigan wins then I don't think they should play again but if tOSU eeks by then I would be for a rematch on a neutral field.

That's not how the BCS works. The way I listed is the only way for the rematch. A UM loss would put them below at least one other 1 loss team, and most likely an undefeated UL/WVU...

I think there is a better chance for a rematch if Michigan beats Ohio State. If the Buckeyes win in a couple weeks, there will absolutely be no rematch.

For the record, Louisville is back in the 7th spot... computer average moved up because of Cincy's win over USF last night.

I wasn't saying that was how the BCS works. That was my personal feelings about how I would like it to happen. I know it wouldn't happen that way.

4th thru 8th are really clumped. What encourages me is that Louisville is still in such great position deep into the season. If Louisville is able to beat WVU, they'll jump Texas in the human polls to go to number 4. If they beat Rutgers the next week, that will be wins over #14 and #7 in the computers. You can't tell me that doesn't put Louisville ahead of all the once beatens.

You're right...in 3 weeks if UL is still undefeated they should be nestled nicely behind the 3 other undefeateds......with a nice little gap behind them.

I believe it was Lee Corso who said he could see a once-beaten Florida who has won the SEC championship game getting into the National Championship game over an unbeaten UL/WVU.

...and he is always right...he said Notre Dame would be 0-6 last year, and be undefeated this year.

For the record, Louisville is back in the 7th spot... computer average moved up because of Cincy's win over USF last night.

Where is this listed...

 

 

 

 

BTW, does anyone else feel that Michigan, or OSU would be better served to move this game up in the season, being that nowadays it seems to be when you lose not IF.

I would be TOTALLY opposed to a rematch, even though I think they are the two best teams.

 

That says quite a bit.

Absolutely!!

They will have already played for the spot. I'm opposed to rematches in our current system, no matter what the circumstance. If it were an 8 or 16 team playoff, that would be different, they would have earned their rematch. But that's not what we have.

If they are the two best teams, they should play again. And since you think they are the two best teams...

^ That game...will likely change an opinion...and no they shouldn't play each other again....especially since it would be in aback 2 back situation..

 

 

...I mean, let's say that U of L DOES go undefeated...Michigan beats OSU by 1. They choose Michigan to play OSU again, and OSU wins by 1, and Louisville remains undefeated....A split title would be the only viable option and nobody wants that.

A split title would only be an option if the AP votes went to UL as #1. Do you really think they would vote UL over tO$U? And answer with your head and not your heart...
