re: Ranking the BCS Controversies

quote:

* 4: Year, 2006. No. 1 Ohio State beat No. 2 Michigan in an epic regular-season thriller and the talk afterward was whether Michigan, with one loss, deserved a rematch in the BCS title game. The BCS rankings, instead, promoted one-loss Florida to No. 2, and the Gators took advantage by beating Ohio State to win the BCS title.

This set up can be controversial.

Obviously, Ohio State and UM got waxed in their bowl games, but take away the names for a minute.

Team A is ranked 1. Team B is ranked 2.

Team A and B are scheduled to play(Team A home game).

Team A wins, but only by 3 in a thrilling game in Team A's house.

Since we base so much off of the polls, wouldn't team B be expected to lose? And, they only lost by 3 at Team A's stadium.
That's not good enough to warrant the thought of a rematch on a neutral setting?


Again, take away the fact that it was Ohio State and Michigan... does that change your mind at all?
What if it were...
say, LSU and Florida at one and two in that scenario?
