I think Michigan might be the second best team in the country. I don't think they should be playing for a title though. Two reasons. They had their one chance. In this system, u can't ask for more than your one chance. That's all the other teams were going to get and now Florida is going to get theirs. Second, what if u put Michigan in the title game and they beat OSU 35-32? How fair would that beat to OSU that Michigan would be crowned champion? It wouldn't be fair at all. OSU shouldn't have to beat Michigan twice to win it but if they split, they lose.
The most screwed team in the country this year was Oklahoma. They probably should be playing in the championship game if u ask me. According to the information on Yahoo's site, they started off the season #5 in the USA Today poll and #10 in the AP. The finished regular season #8 in USA Today and #7 in the AP. If they hadn't lost that game to Oregon, they would be right there in the hunt. And they didn't really lose that game. The Pac-10 admitted that their officials made the wrong call and issued a formal apology to Oklahoma. That loss dropped them to the mid-teens in the polls. Without it, they would definitely be right there. And this after losing the best running back in the country in Adrian Peterson after six games. With a healthy Peterson, who is going to be back for the Sooners' bowl game, I'd give them a better chance to beat OSU than either USC, Florida, or Michigan.
