I was a little suprised but not too suprised that I read a blog from a WVU (West Virginia) that said his team should have been ranked #2 ahead of an overrated Michigan team. Even with the BCS rankings out now with WVU coming in at #3 it does not mean that WVU can even play in the BCS title game. OSU and Michigan are both rated so high and closely that the loser of the Nov. 18th showdown may not even drop past #2 anyway.
Don't get me wrong West Virginia has a terrific team this year. Their toughest opponent though is their schedule. They have one of the most pathetic schedules with only Louisville as a threat to beat them the entire year. When was the last time WVU went into a top ranked teams stadium and smacked them around like Michigan did to then #2 ranked Notre Dame and Ohio State did to Texas? Well they never have and certainly haven't this year.
Respect is earned and not given. Also Michigan is 9-0, WVU is 7-0. Michigan beat Wisconsin (8-1) Notre Dame (7-1) and Penn State and 2 of 3 were on the road. Penn States two losses came from who else? Michigan and Ohio State. Michigan also boasts the number one defense as well. Besides WVU fans, all you have to do is win out and your team has a shot at the National Title, until they play Michigan or Ohio State in the title game. Then it may get embarrassing.
