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

I was not discussing hypothetical situations from years gone by. We are discussing who will play in the upcoming BCS championship game. In that context -- today -- obviously BCS rankings mean everything. This is because the game will be played by (A) the team that has the #1 BCS ranking (which is OSU) and (B) the team that has the #2 BCS ranking at the end of the season (which isn't decided yet).

In fact, I just read the following a minute ago (from http://www.bcsfootball.org/cfb/story/6188418 ), so what I was talking about originally is actually still on track to happen.

"Michigan remains No. 2 in latest BCS

FOXSports.com

What sort of effect would Saturday's "Game of the Century" have on the latest BCS standings?

How about none?

For weeks, many have debated over whether or not there could be a rematch of this Big Ten rivalry in the BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 8, 2007. Ohio State may have defeated Michigan 42-39 in Columbus on Saturday in the biggest game of the season, but the one-loss Wolverines remain at No. 2 in the BCS.

The top five in this week's BCS standings looks just like last week's.

Ohio State remains No. 1, with Michigan at No. 2. USC, Florida and Notre Dame round out the top five, with Arkansas jumping a spot to No. 6 after Rutgers' stunning loss in Cincinnati."

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

No Golfer Herbstreit was just saying what he had been told by officials, this statement has been around for literally years. It was one of the first things taught to new guys coming in as football officials.

Alot of this stuff that is purported to be "new" is not it's just been rehashed. An INTENTIONAL blow to the head has always been a PF and that has not changed. Using the helmet as a weapon (i.e. spearing) has always been illegal also, I saw neither of those events in the play I mentioned.

Do officials blow calls sure they do thats why the instant replay now, but on judgement calls (this was case here) no replay but officials can blow judement calls too (which what I believe happened).

However I do agree with you that for the most part the game was well played on both sides and that was my lament, that in such a big game it was too bad it turned on an officials call.

agree to disagree i say good call. I also saw the pass interference call and that was a bad call, there was hardly any contact and i saw plays before with way more contact.

He slapped his hand because he thought the guy was reaching for the ball that was way short. Bad call but it doesn't matter much, OSU still won! and OSU will win the championship, and Troy Smith will win the heisman.

GO BUCKS!!!

Nope, that was the drawing for the pick-4 game that night. The Ohio Lottery lost they arse that night.

============

"The lottery paid a total of $2.19 million in winnings. Players had wagered $347,867.50.

Cohen said that since 2000, the combination of 4-2-3-9 has been drawn 13 times, but not in the order that they were picked on Saturday.

Kilbane said it’s likely that most of the bets with the winning numbers were placed after the game ended, but she did not know how much money was wagered in that period. The football game finished at 7:13 p.m. and the drawing was at 7:45 p.m. "

If USC runs the table they will leapfrog Michigan and play in the BCS bowl. USC still plays #5 ND and bowl eligible UCLA. 2 wins will put them #2.
