Michigan vs Ohio State Rematch

[jdlea]

I actually have to differ with you guys. I thought it was a great game, yes, but I don't buy that they should get a rematch. Michigan knew what they needed to do. Win the game. They didn't, now they won't win the Big Ten. I agree with Tressel, if you don't win your conference you shouldn't get a shot at the national title.

Both of these teams yesterday knew what should have been on the line: a shot at the national title. However, now the BCS has let Michigan off the hook. No matter how good the game was, OSU shouldn't have to prove that they're better than Michigan again. If Michigan won a rematch I would be disgusted and call for a split national title because then these teams would be 1-1 against each other. I'd like to see USC/Notre Dame/Florida play OSU before Michigan.

I agree with you, this was essentially a playoff game in my opinion and Michigan just got eliminated.
