I'm curious to what the vote would have been if Michigan would have played later in the season. I'm still boggled by the huge vote turnaround but can't help but think it was out of sight, out of mind in the case of Michigan.
I'm also boggled by the fact that the OSU coach didn't vote. Sure his vote may not have been the deciding factor, but he voted every other time and on the one vote that he knew would be seen by the public.. he cops out. I fully believe he would rather not play Michigan again, because Michigan has the best chance of beating OSU. I think if a rematch were played, Michigan would come out on top.
Michigan got screwed. It's not their fault the dumb ass conference they are in doesn't have a championship game. That would be a good place for the conference to start. Set up a championship game.
The BCS is a good concept, but it will never work and never has. Did Florida earn the right to play in the championship? Sure, but so did Michigan. I guess this proves that whining and campaining can put you into the right bowl game. Urban Meyer supposedly hates the BCS system yet there he was whining about how Florida was overlooked and blah blah and voila.. he's in the championship.
God I hate Florida.
BTW, in case any of you wonder where my alliance stands.. it's with FSU. So I'm not biased in what I feel about this outcome.
