December 4, 200619 yr Author I think one single question makes things VERY clear. Do you think Florida would have jumped UM in 33 of 62 Coaches polls if USC had won yesterday? If you say yes, you're lying to yourself...
December 4, 200619 yr Go to espn. 49% of the WORLD wants to see a UM/OSU rematch. Are there really that many of us? So you're in the minority if my math is correct
December 4, 200619 yr I think one single question makes things VERY clear. Do you think Florida would have jumped UM in 33 of 62 Coaches polls if USC had won yesterday? If you say yes, you're lying to yourself... That's a very valid point.
December 4, 200619 yr Im not a fan of UM, UF or OSU but I know that I didnt want to see a rematch. Ive saw them play once and thats all I needed to see. Personally I dont think the outcome would have changed any unless OSU would maybe win by more a second time around.
December 4, 200619 yr 1. What is it exactly? I thought it was to get #1 vs #2 regardless of circumstance. 33 Coaches were convinced Florida was better because of the Arkansas game? :lol: 2. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: 3) If we setup an 8-team playoff, it would be Michigan vs. OSU in the championship. They are the top two teams in my opinion. OSU will destroy Florida. Michigan would destroy Florida.

If you say yes, you're lying to yourself... If Michigan would have beaten OSU by 3 points, I wonder if it would be Michigan vs. OSU anyways?
December 4, 200619 yr So you're in the minority if my math is correct He said that nobody other than Big 11/UM homers wanted to see a OSU/UM rematch. Obviously that's not the case.
December 4, 200619 yr I think one single question makes things VERY clear. Do you think Florida would have jumped UM in 33 of 62 Coaches polls if USC had won yesterday? If you say yes, you're lying to yourself... Exactly. So what changed? Other than the SEC/Florida's chances at being in the title game?
December 4, 200619 yr If Michigan would have beaten OSU by 3 points, I wonder if it would be Michigan vs. OSU anyways? Without a doubt, and the logic used would have been that OSU was the best 1 loss team left, regardless of whether they had already played, or won their conference.
December 4, 200619 yr Without a doubt, and the logic used would have been that OSU was the best 1 loss team left, regardless of whether they had already played, or won their conference. Just doesn't make any sense to me.
December 4, 200619 yr Here's the thing, though: If OSU and UM were to play again, with OSU winning, and Florida were to defeat USC, hindsight would tell us that we should have put Florida in the Fiesta to give them a shot. If both OSU and UM win as it stands now, we don't second guess anything because OSU has already beaten UM. It just makes logical sense to put UF in over UM.

If both OSU and UM win as it stands now, we don't second guess anything because OSU has already beaten UM. It just makes logical sense to put UF in over UM. Let's follow that "logical" sense. So OSU wins by 3 in Columbus. Logic tells us that homefield is worth at least 3 points in college football(and for sure Vegas tells us that). So on paper they are even. Now with your logic, if UF loses and USC loses, we have two teams that, at a neutral site, are even.
December 4, 200619 yr If Michigan would have beaten OSU by 3 points, I wonder if it would be Michigan vs. OSU anyways? I don't think that would have been the case at all. I heard several coaches over the course of the season say; "lose one and your done". I believe it applies here.

December 4, 200619 yr Interesting how so many people are giving Florida no chance at all against Ohio St. It sound rather familiar, like maybe last year when everyone said USC was going to kill Texas.
