Uh, you do know the vote totals in the human polls right? They were seperated by razor thin margins. So Id say 45% of the people thought there should be a rematch, and 55% thought Florida should get the nod.
Damn I hope they don't do that, I didn't get tickets this year (got them last year). Mmm...we'll see I guess...
Eh, most Big 12 schools let you into sporting events for free, with the caveat you pay $75-150 per year in Athletic Fees.
Well the universities Im close to all force athletic fees(season tickets) into tution so everyones would eligible. Unless they opted out, but you have to opt out by going to Student Business Services and filing paperwork.
It might be different at different schools. At penn state, we pay athletic fees, but also must buy season student tickets to go to football games. These student tickets sell out in a matter of days. Then come bowl games, its a lottery between all the people who bought student tickets, and put in for bowl tickets.
Usually around 25000 get student tickets. Approx. 6000 of those will apply for bowl tickets, and about 1000 of them will get the bowl tickets for a small price (100 bucks or so)

Stay on topic, alright? He kept on saying no one wanted to see a rematch and that they deserved to go.
I understand that Florida played a tougher schedule than Michigan, but let's face it, the SEC ain't what it used to be - so their schedule wasn't that much harder than ours, despite their opponents' records. If OSU had come up to the Big House & soundly defeated us at home, I definitely would not have thought a rematch was appropriate. But we played down in Columbus & they barely won. The only team in the country with a reasonable chance of beating OSU is Michigan. At least this way the Big 10 will win two BCS bowl games.
I'm less upset by the decision to put Florida ahead of Michigan than I am by the decision to give Notre Dame a BCS bowl berth ahead of Auburn & Wisconsin. But it is the BC$.

WVU's poor play? I saw a backup QB beat the #13 team in the nation last night in 3OT in the biggest win of their season, stop smoking crack. Auburn lost by TWENTY-TWO to unranked UGA (yes the same team that lost to KY and Vandy ROFL), WVU lost by 2 to a team that will play in a Bowl. Who's the better team again? We can play your stupid game all night.
I begged mods to delete it? I wanted it to be saved so everyone could see what a fool you made of yourself, and was looking for that thread for weeks afterward, you should thank the mods for deleting it b/c you looked like the biggest whining loser they had ever seen. Let me guess, you still think I owe you money? Should I donate it to your favorite charity? *laughs at you some more*
USC was a 7.5 favorite in the Rose Bowl against Texas. I think the last 48 hours it dropped down to 6.5 or so, but yea.. I think OSU is gonna roll over Florida. I say it's a 10 point game at least.
First, how do you actually know the bolded statement is correct? Playing Michigan again wouldn't prove that. Second, as for your last statement, there can only be two teams max out of any one conference in the BCS bowls, that's why teams like Auburn and Wisconsin are playing elsewhere.

no doubt in my mind michigan is the #2 team.
No way in hell do i want a rematch (mirror lake is really f'in cold). THE osu/michigan game was already played.
If the osu/michigan game was this weekend, no way in hell would florida be #2.
just like to point out, Tressel didn't vote : P
And as a side note, that victory over michigan was not ...fun...it never really sunk in. Going into halftime/coming out we were dominating Michigan...and then we just played flat out horrible the 2nd half and squeaked away with a W. There was a horrible feeling in our guts throughout the 2nd half though...*texas* all over again...and as we waited to rush the field...it still came down to the wire. It was just such a dissapointing second half that it really took away from the victory.

mpitts - any commentary if Carr is on the hotseat for another loss to ohio state?

michigan is 2nd best team in my book
but they had their chance, and OSU should not have to beat the same team 2x to assert their dominance so i wont complain about the matchup

LOL my thoughts exactly. I wanted so bad for Florida to get in, but now I have to switch back to Florida-school hate mode.
This is going to be long. I am also going to post it on my weblog at www.roblovesmichigan.com.
Carr's job is there as long as he wants it. His record against OSU is .500. It has been tough, but Bill Martin will never fire Carr. Carr will know when it is time to go.
Lloyd Carr does a great job. I applaud how he handled the BCS controversy. I, for one, am glad that he didn't start whining and crying in the media about how the Wolverines were being snubbed. They got jumped twice in two weeks. Both times by teams that didn't exactly go out and earn it.
In regard to the BCS:
Michigan was in a very unenviable spot. They have just as much right to play on January 8th as Florida. Look at the numbers, like the BCS does, and you will see how close it is. The computers had these two teams DEAD EVEN. Only a huge push for Florida in the human polls gave them the opportunity instead of Michigan. Do you think that Florida would have jumped Michigan if it were November 3rd instead of December 3rd? No. But there were other things at work here;
Michigan had already played OSU
Michigan was off for two weeks
The SEC "snub" by the BCS in 2004
Urban Meyer crying about how there should not be a rematch (hey Urban, ask Gator fans about 1996)
And, to a lesser extent, Michigan not winning their conference. Some people (mostly SEC fans) used this argument, but it is ridiculous. If Arkansas beats Florida, then who would "deserve" to go? Arkansas? Oklahoma? Wake Forest? Well, since all of those teams had two losses, they were immediately dismissed from the conversation. Why is that fair? They won their conference. According to some people's logic, that immediately makes them a more viable option than Michigan.
The voters had to take all of that into account when they cast their ballot. And it certainly didn't help that Gary Danielson put on a one-hour campaign last night in front of a national audience about how Florida was the bee's knees and that they should be in. He begged voters to vote Florida ahead of Michigan, which they did. One guy went out of his way to vote Florida #1 in front of OSU the Harris poll. People are using their votes to manipulate the outcome.
Ask Ohio State fans which team they would rather play. All of them would say Florida, because they know that they are a flawed football team that is prone to offensive ineptitude and mistakes. In my opinion, Michigan would have provided a much better game on January 8th. The line is 8 (do I have to tell you who is favored?). Eight points on a neutral field. Michigan came within three at Columbus.
Everyone knows that the BCS is flawed. Every year, college football fans have to put together their resumes and scream at the top of their lungs in an attempt to ensure that their team is not left out. The BCS continues to give the public a bad product. They give us Boise State and Oklahoma. They give us LSU v Notre Dame. They give us championship games where the #1 team in both human polls gets left out.
Think about what the BCS makes us do. It makes a fan of Michigan have to root for Notre Dame to beat USC. To root for your enemies because it helps augment your argument. It makes teams feel like they have to go out and make a statement in order to prove that they are worthy. There are entirely too many outside factors at play.
But we sit back and take it because it is perceived that there is nothing that can be done. There is something that can be done. Don't watch. Don't go. Don't travel. Don't support your team. That is what the BCS and it's system forces someone like me to do in order to try and create change.
