I think Ohio State wins rather convincingly. I just think they're a notch above the rest of the competition.
Ginn is a great player no doubt about it, but even as a Buckeye fan I don't think he's ready for the NFL yet, he needs another year to refine his route running and then he'll be ready, he still is probably a top 5-10 wideout this year though.

Each team scored 2 more TD's than I thought they would. Its tough for me to comment as I was flipping back and forth between Auburn/Alabama and OSU/Michigan. I love how the announcers were trying to imply their might be a rematch for the BCS crown. I don't think so. USC pulled one out. My bet is the Irish barely beats them & Florida beats Arkansas handily. Setting up the Buckeyes vs Gators for the title.
USC vs. Ohio State is my guess. I think LSU beats Arkansas Saturday but I expect Arkansas to slip up to Florida.. USC will beat ND in my opinion. Michigan vs. Ohio State again would be bad for the game. If Michigan wins then do we really have an undisputed Champion? I would like to see Arkansas vs. Ohio State though. The Razorbacks are a fun team to watch.

I wouldn't count out ND. I think they can beat USC & given the popularity of ND I think voters would give them the edge over Florida. That's assuming Florida can survive, but if they were to lose to AR that would only increase the Irish's chances of a National title game since Trojans beat the Ravorbacks earlier in the season.

It comes down to the Gators & Irish but think the Gators play Ohio St. Why? Notre Dame will beat USC. Florida will beat FSU & Arkansas. Having 1 more game than ND helps as will the strength of schedule. I can't recall if opponents schedule strength factors in but again advantage UF. I experienced one thing in '03 & '04 and that is do not underestimate an Urban Meyer coached squad.

This four team playoff should've been done two years ago when USC, Oklahoma (?), Utah, & Auburn were all undefeated headed into Bowl season. But, I may be biased?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (bakes781)</div><div class='quotemain'>I've been pushing the idea of a team 6 team playoff for years.</div> 4 might be easier IMO but your system sounds good. Would it work like the NFL in terms of logistics? Which 6 would participate? Would it be the conf champs for the SEC, PAC10, Big12, Big 10, ACC, & Big East/MWC/WAC?

If they play again and Michigan wins it's bad for college football. There would be know undisputed champion. Just because it would excite Michigan fans doesn't mean it would be great for the game itself. At least not right now. Michigan had their chance. If one of the SEC Teams or USC go through their schedule it should be their turn. I will say ND should be out of hte picture period. There won't be a playoff in this decade. This BCS is setup for the end of this decade. It's going to be a long wait.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (porky88)</div><div class='quotemain'>Ohio State beat them Saturday.

That clearly makes them the best one loss team in the nation. Any other National Championship game than OSU vs. MICHIGAN is bad for Divison 1 college football. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (porky88)</div><div class='quotemain'>There would be know undisputed champion.</div> You make no sence with this statement.

The last thing we need is USC in it again. :reallysick: Of course Notre Dame is out of the picture! Michigan hammered them in their own house! This is really an easy call if you could be honest about it.

If Michigan deserved to play for the Title then they should of won. If they were the better team then they should of contained Smith and not let him go for 300+ yards and 4 touchdowns. You fail to relize the truth. Michigan can't honestly hold up the Trophy and be proud of the fact that they backed into the BCS Title game against a team that already beat them the last time both took the field. For sake of discussion if Michigan wins how can they hold up the trophy and consider themselves the National Champs? The last two times both teams would of taken the field each one won a game. Ohio State did win the Big Ten as well by beating them. USC has closed out with a tough schedule. As does Florida and Arkansas. The last I checked neither have played Michigan. The last I checked all 3 are closing out with tough games as well. If they win those tough games they deserve to play for the National Title ahead of Michigan. Unlike Michigan they would of won their tough games... Maybe you should read a post before trying to break it down..... A direct quote from the post above yours..
