While Michigan might just be the second best team, they don't deserve a rematch. They had their shot and they lost. Simple as that. Of course, their one loss is a better loss than that of Florida and USC and obviously they've beaten Notre Dame. So the question of whether they are the second best team is irrelevant. They had their title game and lost. If they were to get a rematch and then beat OSU, how would that be fair to OSU that Michigan is the champion? It wouldn't be fair at all.
If USC were to beat Notre Dame today and UCLA next week, as much as I hate them, they would deserve a shot. Yes, they've skated by all season and suffered a loss to an unranked team. But they've also beaten Arkansas (destroyed them), Notre Dame, and Cal so they would have more quality wins than any of the other contenders.
