In unrelated news, we got the Alamo Bowl against Iowa. Even though I'll be back in Dallas for winter break, I think I'll road trip it to San Antonio for the game.

Florida though, I just dont think they are that great of a team. They are alright, but I think the best team in the SEC at the end of the year was LSU. If South Carolina had decent special teams we wouldnt even be talking about them being in there.

So not as high scoring as I thought, but still.Hewson said:UCLA 31, USC 26.
Remember where you heard it first.
Unfortunately what probably hurt Michigan the most is the fact that they were idle for the past 2 weeks, which is ridiculous. (ridiculous that voters changed their opinion of them because they weren't playing) But "out of sight, out of mind" comes into play. Florida plays FSU and Arkansas while Michigan sits home and voters say, "Florida is a good team with quality wins" and forgetting Michigan's resume.Blue Room said:Its going to be Florida in the title game. The media has suddenly jumped on their band wagon tonight after totally dismissing them last week. That is why its a complete joke. They arent going to vote FL in there because they are the 2nd best team now. They are going to vote them in there because they dont want the rematch. After USC lost, Michigan is clearly the number 2 team in the country (I thought they were before USC lost, but I'm a tad bias ).
Being a Michigan fan I cant say it bugs me tremendously though. Like I have said many times. Michigan had their shot to control their destiny and blew it. On to the Rose Bowl to take on the Trojans. Should be a good game. USC has the advantage already. Shorter lay off between games and it will pretty much be a home game for them.
Hewson, great call! I thought the USC/UCLA game would be close, but I didnt think UCLA would actually beat USC.

There needs to be some consistency in scheduling. If The Mich/OSU game was last week and not 2 weeks ago the voting might have been different.
I can see an argument for either side, Florida played a pretty difficult schedule, though scheduling Western Carolina on Nov. 18 is a joke.
But lets face it, a playoff is the only real way to go.
16 teams starting with this past weekend or even next weekend, using the major bowls for semis and finals could schedule in easily. Everyone play an 11 game schedule, finish by Thanksgiving.
Smaller bowls still get played with the 17th thru 64th ranked teams.
Hell divison 1-AA can do it (Go UMass!) as can divison II and III.
The Rose Bowl looks like the best matchup on paper, should be a great game.
Sugar Bowl is happy to have ND for reatings, but LSU is gonna stomp them so viewers will be gone by halftime.
