Rematch?
I know my prediction was off. Troy Smith was awesome, but Michigan hung close. If not for a marginal personal foul on 3rd and long Michigan might have been going for the win with their late TD.
However, there seems to be momentum for a rematch based on how both teams played the game. its hard to think anyone else could go into Columbus and play OSU that way. However, I think USC can spoil that if that win out. Its hard to argue they dont deserve the BCS if they beat Cal, ND, and UCLA.
Theories?

I agree with your expectation of what would happen if they win out, but I don’t agree with your statement that it is hard to argue against USC. Cal is a three loss team now ranked #22. So that win isn’t that impressive, especially at home and considering who else has beaten Cal this year. ND would be a big win, but how much more impressive can it be than beating ND on the road by 26? And UCLA, who is only 6-5 … Not exactly murderer’s row. But the bottom line for me is that Michigan’s loss came to the #1 team on their home field (which is a pretty crappy field if I do say so myself) by only 3 points. USC lost to an unranked team. There is no comparison. It wil be a shame if they move past us. In my mind they can’t do enough to show they deserve it more than Michigan, but alas, I have no vote.

Aaron, I agree with you, but ND is widely respected and if USC beats them I think it might be enough to overcome Michigan in the BCS. I hope not but we will see. I a still favor a rematch based on what has happened.

No rematch!! Take the two teams that haven’t lost a game as of yet Ohio State and Boise State and put the teams head to head. Boise State beat Oregon State soundly and Oregon State beat USC. Michigan lost (period) why do it again? Is this a second chance? If Michigan was to win are they the best team? NO!!! They had a shot, they blew it. (Thanks for play’in) You are now off the board!!! Boise State with what some call an easy schedule beat alot of teams that are pretty good and beat teams nationally ranked. Bottom line, they have yet to lose a game. GO whatever Boise States football team is called!!! Lets see a DAVID VS GOLITH!!! I think the so called big schools are scared of this and in NO WAY want this game for one reason….if they lose small schools get recruits maybe once thinking to attend their schools. If Boise even stays close they are scared. I say Boise wins 40-30. Vegas odds I win millions!!!
