    Then we would have been led to believe that Ohio State and Michigan were really that great instead of the frauds that they really were.

    I guess sometimes the voters do indeed get things right.

    Anyhoo, its the strongest argument for why we need a playoff system.

    A Michigan and Ohio State rematch would've been immeasurable on my I-don't-give-a-$hit meter.

    The game would have been hyped up beyond belief.

    No doubt. Wonder what the TV ratings would've been ?

    If Ohio State had won against Michigan in this scenario then we would be discussing Ohio State as one of the greatest college teams ever. Pretty amazing.

    Hence why we will probably never see a playoff. And that sucks because if you take all of the mock playoff scenerios from the end of this season there would have been some great matchups.

    It was fun watching both of them get blown out in the bowls. I don't guess the networks will rethink their big 10 favortism though. :dis:

    And what's up with still calling it the big 10 when there are eleven.

    I don't know as much as many of the posters here, I'm just a fan. There's a difference between those students of sports who post here whose thoughts I find incredibly interesting and those of us who, well, just love the games. I don't predict the outcomes of games well. My heart always gets in the way. I was in Vegas one time during the basketball tourney and bet $20 on Centenary just because.:hihi:

    I did enjoy that my predictions on the BCS games, especially the championship game, were as good as most of the experts. Better than most. Occasionally, the blind hog does find an acorn.

    When some pointed out that Michigan deserved another crack at Ohio State I always pointed out that the 1st game proved only that neither team had a defense; at least a defense worthy of comparison to the SEC.

    It is indeed fortunate that the rematch dreamed of by the media did not happen because it would have been another 70 point plus close game and the rest of college football would be mere afterthoughts, Tressel would be lauded as a genius and the Big 10 hype would have continued unabated.

    Good post izzlestull.

    Exactly. I always scoffed when the pundits kept saying what a great defense Ohio State and Michigan had going into their respective matchups in the bowl games.
