Michigan? They even have a winning record this year? Oh yeah, they play in one of those cake-walk conferences! Why is there even a vote? It can only be... F L O R I D A!
Florida...and it's not even close. Michigan beat a VASTLY overrated Notre Dame team and a solid Wisconsin squad....and that's it. Florida played a much much tougher schedule. If Michigan played in the SEC, they would have 3 losses. Most importantly, the final score of the Ohio St.-Michigan game was close...but for someone who watched it with no rooting interest, I have to say that at NO POINT after the first quarter did I ever think Ohio St was going to lose. If not for a mishandled snap by Troy Smith, Ohio St. would have won that game by 17 or more. Ohio St is great, but the Big Ten is AWFUL.....accept it.
Both played perennial powerhouse Vanderbilt, yet Florida only managed a six point victory. - Spydertrader
If this is your best argument than thats exactly why Michigan shouldnt be going to the title game. Event this argument cant be use as Michigan played Vandy at home..
