Quite the dilemma now

I went the to the 2002 SEC championship game, Arkansas' last appearance. When Georgia raped them, if you don't remember

And I have to say that "Wooooo, pig, sooie!!!" is absolutely the most aggravating chant in college football. Period.
So watching Florida shut that up was pretty nice. And I hate Florida. But I have to say, based on difficulty of schedule, Florida makes a much stronger argument for a national title shot than Michigan does IMO.
It'll be quite interesting what kind of bullshit the computers puke out tomorrow.

Better than Michigan? Michigan lost one game, TO THE NUMBER ONE RANKED TEAM. I cna understand the arguement is Michigan lost to some crappy team, but their only loss was to the NUMBER ONE team, by FOUR POINTS, in OHIO. Michigan had the THIRD HARDEST SCHEDULE this year. Sorry, but no way in fuck does Florida look like a better choice.
I think it is utter bullshit how the #4 ranked team suddenly is being considered for a championship game. Michigan doesn't play for two weeks and they drop two places? That is bullshit.

Michigan had their chance to beat the #1 team and they lost. Now it is someone else's turn

Also, Florida won their conference, which is a much more competetive conference IMO, so I don't understand why Michigan deserves a second chance.

Rankings are incredibly subjective. I know Michigan has only lost to the #1 team, but why is their schedule any more impressive than Florida's? MU had their shot at beating OSU and they didn't get it done, time for another team to give it a try eh?
BTW, part of me is hoping for an OSU/UM matchup to expose BCS for the inferior system that it is.

Florida was considered to have the hardest schedule, Michigan was #3.
After seeing Florida STRUGGLE against Arkansas last night, them playing Ohio State would be ridiculous. Ohio State would cream them.
Why does Michigan deserve a second chance? Because they are the second best team in teh country. They only lost to the #1 team by 4 points. Did you watchthe game at all? In the second half Michigan shut them down. If the game was 3 minutes longer they would have beat them. Michigan has OSU figured out. They lost by 4, IN OHIO. Put these two teams on neutral ground and I guarantee Michigan will beat them now.
What will prove that the BCS is an inferior system is if they move Florida, THE #4 TEAM, up to #2 in the country. Michigan shouldn't drop from #2 to #4 just because they didn't play the last two weeks. I'm sorry, but if you are #2 in the country, and the 3 and 4 teams both have one loss, if you lose ONE GAME to the #1 team, you shouldn't drop behind teams with the same amount of losses who lost to lower ranked teams.

Florida doesn't deserve a shot, they are #4 in the country.
