Listen up all you Michigan fans and haters

My first post is going to be a big one.  Michigan vs. Ohio State vs. Florida.  Who should play in the National Championship?  PLAYOFFS?  Here is going to be a list of Michigan vs. Florida, and who should play.

First off, Ohio State, undefeated, #1 ranked in the US, they're going, I don't think anyone disagrees.

MICHIGAN:

"They had their chance!"  Yes they did, and a large amount of people think that the National Championship game was November 18th at the shoe, the score was OSU 42, UofM 39.

"Home field is worth 3 points!"  If you're one of those fans, that take into consideration of home field being 3 pts, then I guess the score is tied.  39-39 / 42-42, however you want to put it, but from what I've seen during the rivalry of games at the Shoe, and at the Big House, home field is a good 7pts.  The game would've had a different outcome to say the least.

"Ohio State won't make the same mistakes twice!"  And nor would Michigan.  OSU's two long rushes for TD's wouldn't happen again.  That video would be played over, and over, and over again by Lloyd Carr, and it's sad to say, that'll never happen again.  So that'll cut roughly the 10 pts on turnovers, and the 14 pts on the two long rushes. 

"WE WANT PLAYOFFS!"  Now here's a good one to touch.  Yes, a playoff system would be nice, but theirs only one HUGE problem I see.  For instance, say the playoff system was implimented this season, and say Chad Henne got injured during Nov 18th game against OSU.  Both teams were 11-0, and both were guaranteed to play, it'd be a pointless game, and a pointless injury.  The rivalry would die, if only for a chance to see UofM play OSU in the playoffs.  I mean hell, I would expect to see the most random players on the field.  Joey the freshman who used to run track in middle school would be the starting RB for Michigan.  Why put in their real players?  Although Playoffs would stray away from this problem, it cause the same problems that the NFL has, when they just stop caring near the end of the season, cause they've clinched a playoff spot. 

FLORIDA:  **reading so many posts, I've really only seen two different votes.  For Michigan, or against a rematch.  Not necessarily for Florida**

"We had the tougher schedule!"  Yes you did, out of the 12 1-A teams, *yes, they played 13 games*, you had the toughest schedule, but don't think you're high and clean from scolding.  Michigan was third in the 12 teams they played. 

"Michigan already lost to OSU, it's our turn now!"  Yes, that's the biggest case for you right now, and its true, Michigan already lost, but BCS is #1 vs #2, and right now, the only people voting you #2, are the people that don't want Michigan #2. 

"Michigan didn't even win their conference!"  Very true, Michigan was #2, but it can be possible that the two best teams this year are in the same conference, shouldn't they play each other? 

"We had a better record!"  I've been hearing this one lately, and to tell you the truth, you didn't.  you went 11-1, just as Michigan did.  I'm not going to count your victory over division 1-AA team, and nor should you. 

 

So what's my opinion.  A clause should be written.  That when there is such a small descrepency of difference between the #2 and #3 team, and both teams are 11-1/12-1, make a playoff game.  To go to the title game.  I mean, you already have a month off guaranteed, you might as well do it. 

But honestly, I feel the rankings should be this, as this is my final word.

#1 OSU

#2 Boise State

#3 Michigan

#4 Florida

ABOUT ME

I only have 800 characters to write about what I do and what I like. I live in Detroit, I'm a Miami Hurricanes fan, and every day I wonder why Detroit doesn't have a NFL team. I work at a local bank, where I stand and sit around, greet customers, and do repetitive account work. I'm new to blogging, so this will be a fun experience for those 20 minute times during work that I just get so bored of staring at msn.com and my e-mail. I'm open to all opinions and options, and have been swayed in my decisions before by many good speakers. All I have to say is, who's on first, what's on second, and I dont know is on third.
