Its kind of funny that bad teams like the NJ Giants are still alive to play for a championship yet teams like Michigan have to settle for a consolation bowl, which means nothing if they win.
The Giants can lose 6 out of their last 8 games (some to very crummy teams) and be in just as good a position to win the Super Bowl as a team who has only lost 2 games all year- Da Bears. Everyone starts 0-0 in the playoffs. Kind of like the Cardinals in baseball. Have a mediocre year, crummy end to the season and go on a nice run and become champs.
As bad as the Giants are they are in a better position than the Michigan Wolverines who lost 1 game all year to the best team in college football, fighting admirably right to the end.
