First lemme congratulate any Ohio State fans here. I'm not an Ohio State fan, in fact I really do not like them (especially because you beat my Longhorns, :fire: ), but that was a HUGE win.
Now, on to the question. I guess it's a two-parter. First, do you think there WILL be a rematch, and second, do you WANT there to be a rematch?
1: I believe there will be a rematch. Even if the Gators win out I don't think they make it (sorry Gator fans) just due to the fact that they had some less than impressive wins against lesser opponents (Vandy comes to mind off the top of my head), plus, their win against Western Carolina didn't help their poll spots any, and even though their only loss came to Auburn, Michigan's loss to Ohio State is more impressive. I don't buy into the USC hype, and I think they lose at ND. MAYBE if this were still the Lienert/Bush/White era then yes, I would put USC in there (probably by default because they wouldn't have even lost), but the team doesn't look spectacular with John David Booty to me. Washington State, Washington, and Arizona were all close games, and they lost to Oregon State, which is no Ohio State or Auburn, so they shouldn't even be considered IMO and it's ridiculous that everyone is saying it's USC's spot to lose. Notre Dame WOULD have a serious chance should they beat USC, except for the fact that Michigan wrecked them early on, so how would they jump Michigan if both are one-loss teams and ND lost to Michigan, which lost to Ohio State? Out of those four Florida SHOULD be the only one who has a chance to make it in, but I don't think they should jump Michigan.
2: I DEFINATELY would love to see a rematch. This was in the top 3 college games I have EVER seen, right up there with USC/ND from last year and, of course, my Longhorns beating USC in the Rose Bowl. A rematch would be a great game just as far as football goes, but when you add in all of the other stuff like the 104 year rivalry and all that, and put it in the national title game setting, it has the potential to be the best game ever (well, second best, nothing can top the Longhorns Rose Bowl win for me personally, lol). Also, I just don't CARE about any of the other potential opponents. I mean I know there are Florida, USC, and Notre Dame fans here, so of course they will want one of them in, and it would mean a lot to them, but as nuetral fans, a rematch of last nights game is by FAR the most appealing matchup.
So what does everyone else think?
