Ohio State vs. Michigan

I hate the Luckeye’s as much as anyone, but its really not fair to them if there is another rematch all Michigan as to do is split against them to win the national title and Ohio State has to go 2-0

So lets say Notre Dame and USC play a game that ends in a tie. Than who gets the shot at OSU?

Wasn't the whole idea of a playoff format to have the two best teams in a championship playoff game? Pittsburgh Steelers went 1-1 against Indianapolis yet they were the team that won the Superbowl.

I think home field merits something and any fan like Flames 07 will put on his home goggles and think his team should have won by 60 points but made a few bad plays that resulted in a 3 point game. Fact is Michigan went into a tough barn and found a way to stay in that game against what is the obvious number one team. If USC doesn't walk into South Bend and Pummel Notre Dame, or at least win the game looking good, than I think Michigan is next in line and deserves antother shot.

If Ohio State is that good, they should be able to win the second game when all the marbles are on the table.

The only way Notre Dame deserves a shot is if they beat USC like 35-0. Other than that I don't know how you could say they're better than Michigan when Michigan went into South Bend and handled them.

Its no doubt to me that Michigan is the second best team in the country but its like Jim Teresal (sp?) said its all what the voters decide, if they want the second best team to play OSU than they will vote Michigan but if USC can run the table and really beat down Notre Dame than they are the most deserving team and you have to vote them in, they only really ugly scenario is if the UCS wins over Notre Dame but by only a slim margin 3 pts or less, I mean Michigan went into south bend and smacked the Irish in the mouth

Why is it not fair? The Luckeyes got MICH at home. The result could be different in a neutral site.

Sylvan it's not homer goggles ... what does backing OSU have to do with your belief of who should be #2?

To me, if USC wins out they deserve the shot, they did everything everything UM did buy having 1 blemish on the record and beat ND (again if they do) Shutting USC out seems unfair.

If USC has a second loss AND Florida wins the SEC then they deserve the shot, they would have 1 blemish on a very tough schedule.

I just don't get why everyone is so passionate about Michigan, they are one of many teams with a loss ... and they have proven they can play with OSU ... it was a 3 point game, with a useless TD at the end and OSU just handed them 10 pts.

Go USC!!! and we don't have to deal with the mess and the anklebiters from Michigan.
