MT...gotta disagree with you on this one, OSU is going in as a 10-point favorite against anyone save Mich.

ANy team would make for a great title game, there's a lot of parity between 2-7.

I'm rooting for Notre Dame to get the nod, so we can end all this foolishness about the Fighting Irish being a national contender. They are the most over-hyped, over rated team in the rankings.

Heh! Actually, the national-championship game is between the #1 ranked and #2 ranked teams in the country as judged by BCS rankings. All the teams with a shot at #2 have lost 1 game. Michigan lost its one game by 3 points to the #1 team in the country, whereas the others lost their 1 game to teams ranked lower than #1 and usually by more than 3 points. Also, there was a very large gap between OSU and Michigan's BCS rankings and #3's BCS ranking.

So, it could be Michigan and OSU in the #1 vs. #2 game.

Michigan also shared a National Championship while BARELY beating the #9 Washington State team who ALMOST came back. Meanwhile, the #2 Huskers whooped the #3 Vols.

As for USC being a "fraud", you're off of your rocker.

MICHIGAN WILL NOT be RANKED NUMBER TWO IN THE BCS AFTER TONIGHT'S LOSS. Move on.

As a retired football official I was embarrassed by that call that took the game out of the hands of the kids and put it in the "officials". It certainly was NOT a late hit nor was it spearing just because there was incidental helmet to helmet contact.

That call changed the game, which to that point had been well played by both sides.

You must be blind, he "leaned into him" and intentionally hit him in the helmet. Hell, he was already going down before the cheap shot.

That's irrelevant with respect to who this year is ranked #2.

I didn't say anything about USC.

Yep, you are probably right. But it's not time for me to move on until all is decided. Some of the teams higher in the BCS standings still have games left. First, I'll see what Michigan is rated after this loss. Second, I'll see how things stand after USC, Florida, and Notre Dame finish all their games. NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TYPE IN CAPS, AND EVEN IF YOU TYPE IN CAPS AND BOLD, OR EVEN CAPS AND BOLD AND ITALICS, you and I don't have any effect upon what the BCS rankings will be. We'll see how it all pans out.

the rule is helmet to helmet = PF

aCCIDENTAL OR INTENTIONAL DOESN'T MATTER. The bad call was the pass interference on OSU that let the losers back in it.

GO BUCKS!

Guess you were watching the replay on what was an almost instantanious play, hell I can slow it down to the place where anything looks like what you term a "cheap shot".

I was a lousy call PERIOD and it changed the game in the old days we used to call it home town cooking.

Untrue on the helmet to helmet thing. that was just Brent Musberger (who was bais by the way) covering a lousy call.

The pass interferance call was correct because the defender NEVER looked for the ball (which any official will tell you is an automatic call)

At least you listened to Herbstreit when he said those exact words.

The same goes for helmet to helmet contact on a guy who's out of bounds.

Thank God you stopped officiating, yer blind.

Are you kidding me??? I was beginning to think that the game was being played in Michigan by the total lack of response to the crap michigan was pulling.. late hits on their special teams...

Ohio got a few good calls... but the only thing that kept Michigan in the game as long as they were was the help the officials gave them.

Golfer · « **Reply #57 on:** November 19, 2006, 12:02:20 PM »

I thought the game was pretty clean, very well matched and extremely well played.

#1 and #2 teams sure didn't disappoint.

Ok, let me spell it out for you. My post highlighted that "Rankings meant NOTHING before the BCS or even today".
