Im having a hard time deciphering the logistics of the BCS. I understand that it is supposed to be a mixture of the polls & calculation of strength of schedule. Somehow, the latter goes completly out the window when determining the BCS.
Lets just take a look at who they have played.
Michigan 2006 Schedule DATE OPPONENT RESULT/TIME
09/02VanderbiltW 27-7
09/09C MichiganW 41-17
09/16at #2 N DameW 47-21
09/23WisconsinW 27-13
09/30at MinnesotaW 28-14
10/07Mich StW 31-13
10/14at Penn StateW 17-10
10/21IowaW 20-6
10/28N'westernW 17-3
11/04Ball StW 34-26
11/11at IndianaW 34-3
11/18at #1 Ohio StL 42-39
So they beat Notre Dame and lose to the only other ranked team on their schedule in OSU, but somehow they are ranked ahead of Florida?

It is obvious who has played and beaten more ranked teams. I am clueless as to how ESPN and other places conclude that Michigan's schedule is stronger. IF the Gators win the SEC, and USC drops to Notre Dame tonight, I can not possibly see how anyone could suggest Michigan deserves the title shot over Florida. There can even be an argument that FL is as deserving as USC because they lost to an unranked team.
Not only has Florida played and beaten better teams than Michigan, but they may actually win their division unlike Michigan. IMO there is no argument to support Michigan in the BCS title game except the really lame one about the score of their previous bout with OSU. Which Michigan fans seem to blow out of proportion in every debate.
Im not totally pissed off that Michigan fans think they truly deserve a rematch. What I am pissed off about is the fact that we are sitting here forced to argue over who should be playing for the national championship, when a properly done playoff system would decide all of this for us.
NCAA has some of the most exciting football to watch, its just a damn shame that there are some stubborn *******s that refuse to give the fans what they want, and that is an undisputed national champion.
Lets just take a look at who they have played.
