Just curious, does anyone know how often the national champion team has suffered a loss to an unranked team? Is that a scenario that should really be set in place?
With possibly five or six teams with one loss to ranked teams, does USC really deserve the shot at the title? That Southern Cal bias is just way too much.

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.

if michigan remains #2, than they should go to the national title game. and they should remain so, at least they should remain ahead of usc, due to who each one lost to. has nothing to do with whether they 'deserve' a rematch. they were unlucky enough to have OSU on their regular season schedule. that fact should preclude them from a shot at the title? i don't agree. but i don't think the outcome of game two would be different if they do meet again. shame lsu couldn't pull it out at auburn, they'd be in the hunt. but, what can you do? just wait for next year. here's hoping they go to a bowl close by, so i can go...

Notre Dame In A Bcs Game
Its a shame West Virginia and Texas and few others lost. Now more than likely we will have to deal with an over hyped Notre Dame in an BCS game. Playing the three service acadamies does not warrant a BCS game. The two times Notre Dame played a top ten team they got thier buttocks handed to them in true fashion. Dont know whatt the fix could be, but thier has to be one. There are already way too many bowl games.
