Well, we know for sure that OSU will be playing for the national championship, but should their opponent be Michigan? At this point I would have to say yes. Rutgers was never going, even had they gone undefeated, which they didn't after the pounding they took at Cincinnati. That Big East should be called the Big Least. Have they ever heard the term "defense"? What about ND? Even if they beat USC, and I don't think they will, they should not leap-frog UM since they lost to them, and pretty soundly at that. What about USC? Even if they beat ND, I don't think they're deserving based on strength of schedule, or lack thereof, and some wins that were less than impressive. UM lost by just 3 and on the road, so a rematch is the likely scenario. I'm sure a few will stand up and shout "Florida", but they just don't have the quality wins to justify it, and there's nobody else who can seriously lay claim.
