seriously, its not that complicated IMO
even if Florida and Alabama were the best two teams at the end of 2009 we didn't put them up against each other in the BCS NCG because they had already played the game. Similarly the voters didn't put Michigan up against tOSU in 2006 when pretty much everyone thought they were the best two teams (instead they honored the regular season game and gave Florida a shot)
Are you honestly comparing a 32-13 blowout loss in the SEC Championship to a 9-6 OT home loss the first game in November. Many thought that Alabama and LSU were the two best teams in the country — hence they were ranked #1 and #2 headed into the game. A close loss and blowout are both a loss, but they aren't remotely comparable. In a close loss not involving garbage scores, that means the losing team had a great chance if not several missed opportunities to win the game. In a blowout, the better team that day won, plain and simple.
Again, 2006 Michigan and Ohio State were exposed in their bowl games. It doesn't matter what people thought before the game since we learned after the games were played that neither were the best.

Uh, it most certainly does matter because THAT IS WHEN THE DECISION WAS MADE.
Based on your logic by the voters handing Alabama a rematch, the voters that had Michigan #2 before the OSU game should have kept them there since the game was so close and it appeared that they were the two best teams.
Florida should have been in the Sugar Bowl while OSU and Michigan played again with the crystal on the line to find out who was "really" the best.
I'm sure most Michigan fans felt that they should have won that first game, just like the Bama fans felt they should have.
Oh, and Michigan lost AT Ohio State. At least they didn't lose at home.
