Had Michigan trounced USC there would have been a huge outcry that they probably should have been playing Ohio St. for the Nat'l title. And I would have agreed with that. But, fact is they were trounced by USC and to say after the fact that they weren't themselves is just making an excuse because they were soundly defeated. If it were close it would be one thing....but it wasn't.

They weren't themselves...

They really weren't. I hope Ohio State plays just as poor.

Nah, they just weren't the same team to me, DaHoss. I can't say I watched every single Michigan game this season (because I didn't), but I watched most of them and that was a different team in the Rose Bowl. I really could care less either way, but I'm not willing to crown USC a better team off of that game. That would be like me saying USC sucked because UCLA beat them a month ago, you know?
