Dude there is precdence for this. Fla St beat Florida at home one year and then they met in the deciding game and Florida kicked em up and down the field.
All anyone talked about was how much beter Fla obviously was.
You are acting as if the home field equation with its benefits is the same as a bowl game, its not.
The best two teams should meet.

BOISE STATE vs. OSU on the Blue field for undefeated bragging rights

Of all the teams I have seen, the best team as a total package I have seen is on TV is LSU. And they stink tonight. I have seen no team with the same talent on both sides of the ball at this point in the season. But because they are inconsistent... my assertion does not mean a whole heck of a lot but I thought I would throw it in anyway.

Michigan had Ohio St. try and give them the game with those turnovers. Michigan did not come close to stopping them.

Best job done by a coach this year, Bob Stoops without Adrian Peterson, his starting QB, favorite receiver and a very young offensive line. This is your best coach in college football. Still. Even with his overconfident big loss bowl teams.

I think it is simple:

1) Florida if they win out

2) USC if they win out and Florida loses

3) Arkansas if they win out and USC loses.

4) Michigan

I pretty much agree that while I wouldn't normally put Michigan in the national championship after losing their last game there is no way I could put Notre Dame ahead of them.

Go Irish!!!!!!

I can't wait until USC-ND next week. Should be a barn burner.

Pillow here is where you make your money. Notre Dame will have a very difficult time stopping USC. Quinn has been beating up sissy teams although I think he is a heck of a QB, even better than Troy Smith and I am saying this after the display yesterday. The Irish faithful bet in mass. Cant wait to see this line.

i'm and SEC fan. Lsu is one of the top 3 mosted talented teams in the country. i've said this since week one. if someone can explain the sleep walk Lsu goes into every couple weeks, please do.

USC wins out they play for the NC. USC plays good enough defense, they should beat nd by at least 2 scores.
nd schedule was a joke. they only team they didn't play was st mary's college for girls. the best team they played to this point smacked'em around like a rag-doll (michigan)

it's the gators year they get breaks when they need them. OSU would blew them out. arkansas is a joke too. they've needed trick plays and gimmicks to get where they are.

michigan lost the conference CG, this weekend. they should be out.

OSU, best team in the country. hand'em the trophy now. !


Roll Tide !!

Looks like we are on the road to a rematch. Michigan is #2 in the Harris Poll and #3 in the Coaches poll. They should stay #2 in the computers which means we are looking at Michigan - OSU in the championship unless some voters change their minds in the next couple weeks.

Just another example of why there simply must be a play-off system to determine the national championship. Nothing else will ever be satisfactory. Probably will never happen though...at least not in my lifetime.

Oracle,
I know there's precedence for a rematch because of the whole Florida-FSU rematch a few years ago. But i still don't agree with it.

Go Florida, or go USC. They at this point should get the shot. I still think Michigan is the best team not named Ohio State, but it totally devalues game 1 if you play game 2 and Michigan wins.

They are preparing the armored car as I type. Gonna need a big one this time.

Also have a SB future on the BOYS (little shaky on that one).

Dixie I have watched both teams play and if USC gets to play OSU they will get beat like a drum, I'm talking blowout city. USC is a joke, they have struggled to beat those dreadful Pac teams and it was all they could do to finally put away Cal at home.
I mean please, look at who they lost to!!!!
I think Notre Dame is going to spoil their party anyway. USC does not have a high powered offense and they have trouble with teams who can score. Notre Dame should run wild on them.
If someone wants to claim Florida played an overall tougher schedule than anyone did, and that their only loss was at Auburn to a respectable team, well I guess I can see the argument there. But USC, Notre Dame, Arkansas all have no business whatsoever even being spoken about in terms of playing the Title game. Sickening.
There's a reason Vegas adds 3-4 points to the team at home in these games. You have to face a hostile crowd that makes it difficult on the offense of the visitor(false starts, can't hear audibles at the line) and home team always gets more calls from the refs. Michigan lost by three in an incredibly hostile atmosphere to the number one team, and is without a doubt one of the best two teams in the country.
This is a completely broken system because if you lose late in the season you get penalized more than a team who loses early. USC gotbeat by an inferior non ranked team, and ND got embarassed at home by Mich and Ark got killed at home as well.
ND beating USC is the key to justice being served.

bcs isn't up to voters, but to a computer. there won't be a split title, the usc claim of part of the title a couple years ago is pure B.S. lsu won it, and share it with no one.

The computer effect on the BCS is now negligible. The computer rankings only account for 1/3 of the BCS ranking. The other 2/3rds are from the human polls. The only way the computer rankings factor in is if two teams are extremely close in the voting in the human polls. If one team is significantly #2 in both polls they will only be passed in the BCS if their computer ranking is 4th or worse.
