    Point-Counterpoint: Will they meet again?

    Wednesday, November 15, 2006, 10:57 AM EST [NCAA FB]

    All anyone is talking about in college football this week is Ohio State-Michigan. But the talk isn't limited to Saturday's showdown ... not by a longshot. People want to know if this is just a preview of the national title game, and it definitely could be.

    Collegefootballnews.com's Pete Fiutak is firmly in the "will happen" camp; while his cohort Rich Cirminiello is convinced it won't happen.

    Fiutak: I'm a pure believer in the integrity of the college football regular season and would rather see USC, Florida, Rutgers, Boise State, heck, even Temple, get a shot in the BCS Championship game than see a rematch that renders the first Michigan-Ohio State showdown useless. But I'm telling anyone who'll listen ... it's going to happen.

    Cirminiello:  Remember the screaming debate and cries of foul that ensued when Nebraska earned a berth in the 2002 Rose Bowl after losing its final game to Colorado and failing to win the Big 12 North? How about three years ago, when Oklahoma backdoored its way into the Sugar Bowl and a shot at the national championship after getting its doors blown off by Kansas State? Voters remember, and they're going to make dang sure it doesn't happen again in 2006.
