I don`t think this subject has been brought up yet,, on these boards.
I think under a close, hard fought game, it has to be considered who ever wins or loses.
The loser just becomes another 1 loss team,, BUT,, their 1 loss will have been to an undeafeted #1 nationally ranked team.
And for all the other 1 loss teams,, you have to look at who beat them.
Only Notre Dame can make a claim if its Mich. that wins. Then both Ohio st. & Notre Dame can say they were beat by the undeafeted #1 ranked team.
Then it will come down to who played the better game versus Mich.
I`m sure everyone agrees with me

I assume the BCS wouldnt pair up Mich and OSU again. It does stink though becuase they probably deserve to be there.

Actually, Wisconsin could make that claim too, and Wisconsin would be the only one who could make the claim that they lost to the skunkbears in the Big Outhouse. ND and OSU would have lost to the skunkbears at home.
detroitfan2, your right, good catch. Its a shame they did not play Ohio st. this year,, and for that fact, i think it hurts them.

<< <i>The OSU-Michigan should not be played anywhere other than Ann Arbor or Columbus... somethings like tradition are more important than a rematch in the Fiesta Bowl and all the BCS NONSENSE. End of discussion. >>
Very True!
I have a feeling this college football season is going to really spark more controversy than in the previous few years.
If Michigan wins big, then it is a no brainer who goes, and it only depends on how the other matchups fare.
If Michigan barely wins, since the game will be in Columbus, Ohio State should have no gripes as to being in the national championship or not!
If Michigan gets blown out, then they have no business playing in the national championship game.
If Michigan loses, but it is close, say an overtime loss, or perhaps by a field goal. Then like anyone else, they would have an argument that they too should be playing in a rematch!
Michigan crushed Notre Dame, and let's say Notre Dame wins out, chances are good they will be in the game, but how can they be ranked over Michigan, should Michigan barely lose to #1 at their house! Also, Notre Dame struggled against teams they should have easily beaten (UCLA and MSU), one team was easily handled by Michigan. Remember, Oklahoma went to the game after losing late in the season a few years ago, sure it was controversial, but they still did! I think people have to look at who loses late in the season, and to whom, before they say this or that team has a gripe or not! Florida barely beat South Carolina last week, and in their last 4 games, they are 3-1, and each win was by a touchdown or less, against 2 teams they should have easily handled! One of those teams was Vanderbilt, that Michigan beat by 20! I think USC will beat Notre Dame, ending Notre Dame's chances! I believe LSU will beat Arkansas, do not know why, I just feel as if they will! Not a knock whatsoever on Rutgers, but if they play a Michigan or Ohio State, they will get crushed, but they have to beat West Virginia first, another team that is overrated. West Virginia plays Louisville, Rutgers, and Pittsburgh, and I believe all three would lose to a top tier Big 10 team with a semi good defense!
There is ONLY one problem, unless things work out properly, you will never know if this or that team can beat this or that team, unless they play! So we can argue and gripe, say this or that, but everything is based on what a computer says. There has to be a playoff system of some kind, to officially say, the teams who play for the national championship, are the legit champs each year!
Is a tie possible ??, after so many extra peroids in the weird NCAA overtime system, maybe the game can be called a tie,
That would set up a rematch possibility.

Only if Bud Selig calls the game because both teams used up all their pitchers.
<< <i>Don't count us out yet. Arkansas' Darren McFadden not only proved himself as one of the best running backs in College Football but also a very efficient quaterback. Marcus Monk our stand out wide reciever is getting stronger and according to coach he will be good to go again on Saturday. Payton Hillis is out due to a deep bruise on the hip but will be back for the LSU game. Felix Jones is one to contend with as well. So please do not count us out. Respect in the NCAA is earned I know. For a team that didn't have a "pot to piss in last year" looks like we may have a shot at something better. GO HOGS!!!!!!!! >>
True enough, but the Razorbacks' strength of schedule is pitiful. And the drum job that USC put on them doesn't help their cause either.

I think Arkansas could play right with virtually anyone at this point.
