First off, there should be a playoff system because all other debate about who is better is pure speculation. Teams play different schedules, conferences and therefor its very hard to compare apples to oranges and "know" who is the best.
All I know for sure is Ohio State is better than Michigan as the game told me that. I love that Michigan fans say we only lost by 3. True, but everyone knows that the last TD came in the meaningless time caused by a bad snap giving Michigan the illusion of a closer game than it was. Anyone outside Michigan and Ohio clearly saw that the game was never in doubt. If not for Ohio's self inflicted turnovers in the game which Michigan had nothing to do with causing, the game was a blowout.
Now look at the schedules. Mich played Wisconsin, ND and Ohio St. That is all they played. ND is highly overrated as shown by the blowout losses they took and will get crushed by LSU to end their year. Wisconsin's only game of toughness came against Michigan which they lost. And Ohio St. beat Michigan.
Florida played Arkansas, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Tennesse and lost only to Auburn by 10. But if you watched that game, it was closer than that and really was a homer forward pass call from going the other way. Florida State and Georgia are down years, but rivalry games are always tough no matter what, just ask USC.
Florida played 6 ranked teams this year. Michigan played 3.
Florida played 9 bowl teams. Michigan played 6.
The common game they both played was Vandy. However both teams won, but Florida played the game on the road, and Michigan played them at home.
Mich fans like to say that Florida barely won their games. True some games were very close. But if you play 5 straight tough in conference games, you are going to play some close games. Florida jumped out to early big leads in each one and then tried to protect the lead. Do I agree with that strategy, nope, but they won. And when point to South Carolina game, remember who the other coach is. That is a rivalry game now because of Spurrier.
And lets not forget the trouncing that Michigan placed on Ball State. At least when Florida played the weaker teams like UCF and Western Carolina, they kicked their ass.
Reality is both teams had one loss. Florida had an extra win. Michigan just lost to Ohio State and proved they were not better, so the only logical thing to do when you have two 1 loss teams is give the other team the shot to beat OSU.
Is Michigan better than Florida? Who's knows, they didnt play each other or the same schedules. Only two ways to find out. 1. Florida plays Michigan which isnt going to happen, or 2. Florida plays OSU and beats them.
BCS is shit and a playoff needs to be put in no matter what. But Michigan had their shot this year and failed. Now its Florida's turn to see what they can do.
Should be a good game though. Ohio State is very good but they played a cupcake schedule themselves with Texas, Michigan, Penn State and Iowa as their tough games. Texas had an off year and is #18, Michigan they beat and is #3, Penn State is unranked and a 4 loss team who got shitkicked by ND, and Iowa who is 6-6 this year.... So OSU looks mighty good, but they didn't play anyone outside the Big 10 this year who could prove so...
