Here's the deal (and Tony, there is no absolutely bias on my part - hehehe). Ohio and Michigan have already played, and, since it was a late in the season game, a rematch would prove nothing. If Ohio won, it would be like ""been there, done that......what a waste of a bowl game". If Michigan won, then the meetings would be split and no clear national champion could realistically be declared....what do you do then....oh, hey, yeh, I forgot, best 2 out of 3?Sure!!!!
Florida, on the other hand, played one of the toughest schedules in the toughest league in the country, and, in fact, the Gators won a higher percentage of their games than Michigan did (FLA 12 - 1 for 92.3%, MICH 11 - 1 for 91.67%)! Therefore, even if the schedules were of equal toughness, clear logic points to the team winning a higher percentage of their contests as the victor in this race! yourock.gifwoohoo.gifyourock.gif
That said............I'm sure some Wolverine fans will have a whiny, emotional response!!!!
And there in lies the problem with this whole system.....Ohio State is #1 playing one of the weaker schedules..only 2 top25 teams all year. They did not play Wisconsin, (who Michigan beat) which has become a very very good football team.
That said ,I do except for bias, see Mikes point, which is a good one.
